Thanks A.Drake and lilygirl
Close! I'm naming them after things in our solar system. I'm kind of a big astronomy nerd
Nicolaus Copernicus was an astronomer/mathematician/physicist. He was the first person to make a detailed model of the planets and Earth, though he thought the planets revolved around Earth.
I was going to go with the last name Galilei, because Galileo Galilei (another physicist/astronomer/mathematician) is my favourite historical figure ever. He is the one that proposed that the planets revolve around the sun. However, when I was thinking of possible names for future generations, none went with Galilei.
