Best Answer
There are two options, rename and upload, or just upload. You can only rename things if you haven't already uploaded your discoveries.
To rename something simply hover the planet/system/etc. and press whichever button it prompts on the overlay. I'm not in game and don't know which button it is off hand.

How do you properly name a plant?
Genus and species: Names should always be italicized or underlined. The first letter of the genus name is capitalized but the specific epithet is not, e.g. Lavandula angustifolia. If the meaning is clear, the generic name can be abbreviated, e.g. L. angustifolia.How do plants get their name?
Each plant is given a first name and last name, generally based in Latin, that is unique to each species. This name is recognized for that plant throughout the world, no matter what the native language might be. Plants are grouped by their botanical similarities.How do you give a species name?
There are some rules you must follow when naming a new species:What is the scientific name for a plant or animal?
A binomial name is often known as a scientific name. Thus, as per Binomial Nomenclature, plants and animals were named, depending upon two factors: species and genus. This system is universally accepted, creates no confusion as each organism gets a unique name, and is easier to remember and understand.Scientific Names of Most Common Animals

Answer 2
Discovering
When you land on a planet that has not yet been discovered, you will automatically discover it, and it will be added to your journal. Other items need to be discovered manually:
Waypoints/Outposts: These have a pylon at each site that you need to activate before you are classified as discovering the area.
Flora/Fauna: You must scan the object before it is discovered. To do this, you first need the Analysis module installed into your Multitool (it's there by default on your first, but upgrades may not have it by default).
Once you have it installed, you need to bring up the display (F by default, Right-Click to zoom) and hover over the creature/plant for a few seconds. It will then come up with Analysing. Once it has completed (you need to keep the item in view until it does), you will have discovered it.
For Fauna, it's worth noting that underneath each animal you can see, there is a green or red dot. If it's red, its a species/sub-species that you have not yet discovered. This can be really handy for attempting to complete the set on a particular planet.
Uploading
All Discoveries are visible within your "Journal" (P by default on PC), when you open this, you will see a list of planets and systems on the left hand side.
When you click on a planet, it will load up the data for that planet on the right hand pane. For both planets/systems (on the left), and waypoints, flora and fauna (on the right), discoveries still to be uploaded will be shown with a red icon on the top right of the image.
To upload these, you simply need to press (and hold) E by default. If you want to rename, you need to press X. These instructions for uploading are displayed in the tooltip whenever you hover over the item.
Units
You get units for uploading each discovery you make (~200 Unit I believe). Additionally, you appear to get 200 Units immediately for each unique species you discover (and it seems to stack with uploading from the journal). Finally, if you discover all species on a planet (the tooltip on the bottom right when you discover tells you how many are left, or you can see it as ???? in the journal) you apparently get a further bonus (~100k Units - Unverified by myself).
