Ahoy!
As I needed a list of all names used to name stations/outposts in the game and couldn't find any, I imported and cleaned the Stations.json from EDDB's API and turned it into a spreadsheet. After much filtering, search & replace and some eyeball cleanup, it's quite usable, so... Here's a
List of all station/outpost names in Elite
I figured it could also be interesting to tie each name to the real person or thing, as a bank of the culture spread around the galaxy. The document is open to modifications, so anyone can add links, help clean it etc.
We could maybe add some colour code to identify real persons, their job, etc. Hope someone finds it useful.

- There are some apostrophes to repair (OBrien, dAlembert, etc.)
- There probably are a lot of lurking 's remaining (I cleaned ['s ] but due to typos in the names, some have stayed)
- There probably are a few duplicates remaining
- There are seemingly duplicate that differ by a letter or two, could be two names or a single name, one right, one typo'd
