    The International Astronomical Union is allowing astronomical organisations (like theSkyNet) to submit potential names for 20 exoplanet systems outside our Solar System so I was thinking that galaxy zoo members can come up with names and submit it just like Skynet is doing but first we vote on the names and the winner gets submitted. This is just an idea and wondering if we can do this? I think FREETHESOULS is a good name. I was wondering if this can be done by galaxy zoo and the other astronomy programs in the zoouniverse.
