Renaming the Moon

[EmoBorg]

There is an online campaign to rename our Moon.

Since the word moon is a generic term used to refer to any natural satelite that orbits another celestial body of greater mass, there is an attempt to give a unique name to our moon.

Do you think our moon should be renamed ? if so what name it should have.

 

[Crazy Eddie]

Luna.

That's ALREADY its name, we just don't use it because we're idiots.

 

[Amaris]

Our moon's name is Luna. Some call her Selene. I call her goddess.

 

[Silvercrest]

Should we rename the Earth, too? It's a generic term that refers to dirt. It needs something unique.
How about ... oh, say, "Arret"?

 

[Data Holmes]

It has a name, it's Luna. Just like the earth has a proper name of Terra.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

I'm down with Luna.

 

[EmoBorg]

It has a name, it's Luna. Just like the earth has a proper name of Terra.

Luna for Moon and Terra for Earth perhaps then.

 

[Silvercrest]

Arret! Arret, I say!

Luna? Suuuuure. Next thing you'll be trying to tell me the Sun has a name too.

...Oh?

 

[Amaris]

Not just Sol, but Sol Invictus. Long live the Unconquerable Sun.

 

[EmoBorg]

In the future, instead of being called Earthlings, we should be called Terrans or Earthers.

 

[Tosk]

Who calls themself an Earthling anyway? ...Apart from Ricky Schroder, that is.

 

[Gov Kodos]

There's something for the list of useless ideas.

 

[T'Girl]

The Earth would be "Gaia," and the moon would be "Lua."

Something more poetic than "sphere of light" for the sun would be great, we should work on that.

Earth -dirty rock
Moon -big flashlight in the sky

As an Italian I'm thoroughly confused now because I obviously already call the moon luna.

 

[B.J.]

Interestingly, the official IAU names are Moon, Earth, and Sun. Even the Milky Way's official name is just "Galaxy".

 

[Asbo Zaprudder]

They should rename Uranus as Bumhole as suggested on Spitting Image.
