Thanks SS. I try to stay away from random name generation in my alternate history. They are alright, and maybe even preferable, in long range AH (history changing centuries back), but when we can use people from our time line (or their theoretical descendants) then I go that way.

I'll look into Tasman and Horton. So far I have three or four names for that primary, so I'll see what I can do to fill in the gaps for the article.
