There are billions of planets in the galaxy. Most of them have no names and have not been observed yet.

As of 1 September 2017, there have been confirmed detections of 3,660 exoplanets in 2,744 planetary systems and 614 multiple planetary systems.

Are there plantes in other galaxies?

Probably, though most planets discovered so far - or perhaps all of them - are in our own galaxy. The reason for this is simply that it is easier to discover planets when they are relatively close to us. But, having discovered about a thousand planets nearby, there is no particular reason to believe that other galaxies would be devoid of galaxies. After all, the same laws of physics work in other galaxies as here.

We don't have the means to detect or observe planets in other galaxies. But so many hundreds of them have been discovered in our own galaxy that it's a safe bet that other galaxies must have them too, in abundance.
