For instance 51 Pegasi b means the first planet discovered orbiting the star 51 Pegasi.
When was the first planet discovered outside of our solar system?
The first confirmed detection was in 1992, with the discovery of several planets orbiting a pulsar. The first confirmed detection of an exoplanet orbiting a main-sequence star was made in 6th October 1995, when a giant planet (51 Pegasi b) was found in a four-day orbit around the nearby G-type star 51 Pegasi.
What are planets names in other galexies?
No one knows if there are any (we assume that there are because of the number of planets we've found in the local volume of space - but that's not a proof) much less what their names are.

He theorized that the earth revolved around the sun and that all the planets revolved around the earth, thus the earth was not the center of the universe.

What planet orbits a star other than your own?
There are hundreds of "exoplanets" (in orbit around stars other than Sol), but these don't have proper names, just designations. The usual convention is to add a lowercase letter to the designation of the star, so an object orbiting 51 Pegasi would be 51 Pegasi a, the next object 51 Pegasi b, and so on.
What is the name of the first exoplanet discovered?
The first confirmed exoplanet is called 51 Pegasi b. It was discovered on October 6th 1995 by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz. Note: 51 Pegasi or 51 Pegasi a is the parent star.
