for sure the hardest part of engineering the Universal Translator must have been getting it to figure out when people were deliberately using a couple words in their own language for flavour.

There are other languages on earth and lots of them name earth after the local variant of God/Goddess, such as Gaea, so plenty of planets would probably be named "The children from Nature's domain orbiting nature". Additionally if a planet isn't their first world they might name it like a colony: new York, New England.
