I take the position that many planets would be given names in Old Earth languages, including English, German, French, Hindi, Mandarin, Spanish and so on, so they would often seem strange to the colonists living there. This is useful from their point of view, since a planet named (for example) 'Home' in the modern language used at the time might be the source of confusion for the colonists.
