What is wrong with "Kohav Lekhet", Jason?
Also, is the new term "Rahav" really a good choice?
The term is meant for current usage. Compare with
'divrei rahav'.

Now we just need a Hebrew word for "planet" specifically, as opposed
to "star." These were not "stars" that were named at all.
I know that there's כוכב לכת and פלנטה, but neither of these is really
satisfactory. What do you think?
