I think some effort should be put into naming the nearby stars. So many of them are jist referred to by their Gliese or HAT-P catalog name that it is hard to keep straight.

Could probably get a move-on naming the larger trans-Neptunian objects as well.

Gliese 12 b is tantalizingly close and moderately warm, situated just 40 light-years away around a red dwarf star.

No worries, just a couple of hundred years away then.
