Mine would be a concept, not a person or place or thing. Something eternal, something hopeful, something inspirational, something translatable into many languages. Thinking as I'm typing. But the more I think about it, the more convinced I am that Arthur C. Clarke got it right with "Discovery". It is the perfect spaceship name. NASA's Mars surface missions have a long string of great names in that vein. Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, Perseverance, Ingenuity.
