They use that too. But for the Listing page it makes sense.

Also, when you hover over the map and it pops up with the name, it's more interesting. The names can invoke curiosity.

Surprisingly this large nebula hasn't been submitted yet: (EDIT: I updated the main image for the Nebula below with a better one. EDIT2: Added reference to the system containing trojan bodies as well).

POI SUBMISSION
Name: The Clawed Hand Nebula
Type: Large Stellar Nursery Nebula
System: Hypuae Scrua AA-A H693 (nebula name). Hypuae Scrua FL-W D2-90 (a system near centre of nebula)
The Hypuae Scrua AA-A H693 Nebula (The Clawed Hand Nebula) is a large red/green dusty Stellar Nursery nebula about 2000 ly above the Galactic Plane near the southern edge of the Eastern Neutron Fields. From certain angles it resembles a clawed hand curling around a jewel, which is the inspiration for its name. It is about 100 lightyears in diameter and contains over a hundred star systems.
As a bonus, at the edge of the nebula lies the Hypuae Scrua EQ-W D2-158 system which contains some worlds in a Trojan orbital configuration (one body orbiting 60° ahead or behind the other in the same orbit)! 4 & 5 are a binary Y dwarf and large icy body, and 6 is another large icy body 60° further around on the same orbit! (see https://imgur.com/QXnSIMN and https://imgur.com/GdfHBdd )

Over how many systems?
If the suggested POI is interesting, then it's very likely someone will come up with a name even if the submitter doesn't. But it's polite towards the GMP team to suggest a good enough name, so as to save them some work.
EDIT:
Remember that you need to have visited the place for the submission to be valid. If you have, then no worries, it's just that you only submitted pictures from the GalMap.

Not the most inspirational name perhaps but as a bit of a brain fart... "Diamond in the Rough"?
Resubmitting this again as it doesn't appear to be looked at in the last updates:
Name: Ewoks Rest
System Ref: Clookia NK-M d8-431 https://www.edsm.net/en/system/id/25726165/name/Clookia+NK-M+d8-431
Type: Minor POI/Possible tourist destination/Planetary features
Description:
Earth Like Moon orbiting a gas giant in a tidally locked orbit of 1.5 days. Also ammonia moon in same system that is closer in than the ELW and terraformable bodies, making it somewhat an oddity. Whether this is due to the heat the gas giant (planet 8) is giving off allowing a terraformable zone further out than the stars original goldilocks zone is debatable.
System itself also offers some stunning vistas of various nebulas and dense star clusters and is a green system, making it a perfect stop to top up your material supplies while heading towards the core regions.

Indeed, it looks like a larger number of posts were skipped in the last update. Back then, Andrew Gaspurr wrote in post #3013 that the mapping project was updated, but from #2872 onwards, a number of entries appear to have been overlooked. Resubmitting mine that were left out:
Name: Hengist Nebula
Game map search ref: Juenae OX-U e2-8852
Description: A planetary nebula found deep in the core, the Hengist nebula was named after the late Emperor Hengist Duval, who was assassinated a few days after this system was discovered. A terraformable water world orbits the secondary class G star: while it could have been classified as an Earth-like planet, the presence of large amounts of water vapour has heated its atmosphere well above what's considered breathable.
Screenshot reference: The original post has several screenshots. See: 1 2 3 4
Name: Bartender nebula
Game map search ref: Dryooe Flyou YT-A e1844
Description: A planetary nebula found along the route to Colonia, this system consists mostly of gas giants and dwarf stars orbiting the remnant neutron star. Of note is a rather large ammonia world, which is heavy enough to form a binary pair with a gas giant.

Typos and updates:
Rohini: contrary to the entry, the station now has a shipyard. (Not sure when exactly it was added.)
Near and Far 3kpc Arm, Galactic Bar (Region): all three entries say route plotting is difficult in the core, but that's no longer the case.
The Abyss (Region): "interam" -> "interarm"
The Perseus Fade (Region): "Region" -> "A region", "but for few hundred" -> "but for a few hundred"
Centaurus Reach (Region): "lenght" -> "length", "centaurus" -> "Centaurus", "august 3301" -> "August 3301"
Styx (Region): "and do the crossing" -> "and crossing"
Metztli : "Nerus" -> "Nereus"
From Routes:
The Daedalus Mission:
"Rifts" -> "Rift's", "Hypoina" -> "Hyponia", "Wings' -> "wing's", "fate of Daedalus" -> "fate of the Daedalus"
Crab Nebula Expedition route: there's no text at all
Rock Rat Run: "I" is incorrectly capitalised as "i" several times
Jmanis Bridge: named after the Commander who first submitted it, but back when I submitted mine, I was told this isn't allowed. Let me know if this has changed since. (Not that I'd like mine to be renamed, mind.)
Posiedal Wall: should be "Poseidal". Also, you might want to remove the " Please let me know if you think this is wrong, and I will change it." line from the entry
Also, shouldn't more Major Expeditions be added?
Then some from the Star clusters category:
The Remembrance:
"A globular cluster of 12 Class-O stars. Close-spacing. Each one is approx 40LY apart." -> "A globular cluster of twelve class O stars, closely spaced. Each one is approximately 40 ly apart."
NGC 3603:
" Early earth scientists" -> "Scientists from the 19th century"
Seven Sapphires Cluster:
" B0 VZ*" -> "B0 VZ", "Cluster" -> "cluster"
The PW2010 Supercluster:
"aurrounding" -> "surrounding"
Skull and Crossbones nebula:
"There are few black holes" -> "There are a few black holes"
The Pomegranate nebula:
"At 120110125LY in size " -> "At 120 x 110 x 125 ly in size"
Also, one from pulsars:
The Black Widow Pulsar: " the pulsar was estimated to move across the galactic plane at a speed of appr. one million miles per hour, which would be more than 20 times the speed of Sol " - I'm fairly certain mph isn't used anywhere in astronomy. I don't know what speeds are used for measuring star movements in the galaxy, but perhaps it would be best to change it to "at a speed of approximately twenty times that of Sol"?

Damn, that was fast! I only just beat your previous one and hadn't had a chance to submit my own POI.
Congrats!
There is no automated way to know
But it should be good now?

Re: Ellairb SJ-B b42-10. https://www.edsm.net/en/system/id/14203068/name/Ellairb+SJ-B+b42-10
Moons 1A and 1B collide approximately every 22 days.
The frequency of the collisions will make it much easier for explorers to schedule a visit during a collision.
A predicted schedule of future collisions is on the top of page 3 in the thread linked below.

PRU AESCS HW-S B31-2 wrong description
I just visted https://www.edsm.net/en/system/id/7024499/name/Pru+Aescs+HW-S+b31-2 in order to listen to the beacon and realised the description is not accurate:
While the coordinates of the settlement are quite correct (actually, it is at -7.289 / -35.953), the beacon time is wrong.
The encoded communication at the beacon starts at exactly ":15" and ends around ":22/23"

I was the one that submitted those times, but your correction makes sense. The other start times have 15 minutes between them, so it would make sense for this one to also start at the last "slot", which is :15 (the others start at :00, :30, and :45). IIRC, when I submitted those start times, only one of the beacons had its transmission start time listed in that description, and that one might be this one that was incorrect, but I might be wrong, it might have been an error on my part.
Is there a specific reason why only this one system has the description and not all 4 of them? Imho it would make sense to put the description on all of them.

Name: Five Emperors
Game map search ref.: M36 Sector RI-T c3-5
Description: This system houses a very rare phenomenon: five planets in complex orbits around each other. They have been named after the Five Good Emperors of the Roman Empire from ancient Earth: starting from the closest body, Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus and Marcus Aurelius.
It's worth noting that although the surface composition, size, mass and atmospheres of the planets are almost exactly the same, they still look quite different from each other.
Screenshot reference: https://i.imgur.com/nApJF4a.png and https://i.imgur.com/VxLzBnC.png. I don't think they'd make good screenshots, but they should serve as proof that I was there.
