Most of the name origins are easy to guess. Carrotus, Diamondus, Ceramicus, are all common names with -us in the end.
The ones I have no clue on, or at least on a part of, are the following:
- Technoir (why Techno, and is its suffix the french "Noir" or the acronym "I.R."?)
- Fanolint (the "olint" part)
- Nippius (The "nippi" part could mean many things, but nothing ice related comes to my mind)
- Marbelara (why "Lara"?)
- Pezrock (is Pez the spanish for Fish, or those rectangular candies?)
- Crysilis (I know it comes from Crystal, but why "ilis"?)
And the unofficial ones:
- Grentenus (it's green, but what does "tenus" stand for?)
- Ozymandius (no, seriously, nothing egypt related comes to my mind at all)

"Nippy" means cold. "Chrysalis" is an existing word derived from the ancient greek for "gold".
- Ozymandius (no, seriously, nothing egypt related comes to my mind at all)

"Crysilis" sounds like it could be a combo between 'Crisis' and 'Crystal', but that's probably not it.

The "Fan" in "Fanolint" is obvious, the "Olint" part is most likely referencing this infamous greenhouse supplier (http://www.olint.com).

Pretty sure Pezrock is referring to the candies.
Marbelara, I'm guessing is referring to the marble statues and temple/rich house type blocks. I always picture them as differently stained shades of marble stone.
I do wonder, though: if we have Nippius from JJ1, does that make the Hippie world from JJ2...Hippius?

I was rather thinking of a name like "Psychedelion". Because Colon stands for Colonius, we know, but Hippius/Psychedelion is officially known as "Psych".
The beach world probably has no name, as "Beachius" just sounds wrong.

Hey, I learned something. :)
I shared this link to the JJ2+ chat group a while back (http://www.sistematubelectric.com.ar/), but I don't know if there's any connection--likely, the planet came first.

IIRC Meerd is a popular family name in the Netherlands.
Also, you forgot the important part, Pipes is Sepip backwards.

So the name is actually a backwords version of Mirrored Seepip, and it's written with a diffirent pronounsation, like Raneforus.
Seriously, guys. What does dreem mean (or should I say, MEEN)
