You know I think that maybe a popular entry along with Solaris and Apollo, maybe they should have gone for the popular vote, then again maybe not, "Mcboaty mcboatface".

I'm thinking foreign tongues too, and having lived in Catalonia... Asfodel (the Catalan spelling of Asphodel).
Advanced Solar Flare Observatory and Detector at Earth's Lagrange
Asphodel (Greek mythology) - the flower said to carpet Hades, and a favorite food of the dead.
