It has come to my attention that there are several major entities that do not have names of their own (or in some cases, too may names): the Earth, the Sun, the Moon and our Solar System. Our Sun has several accepted tags, such as various forms of “Sol”, but we refer to other stars as “Suns”, especially if there are suspected planets involved. A reference to our Moon can be recognized by various forms of “Luna". And our Solar System is completely nameless. Our planet has too many names and needs just one, so that when They finally do arrive and show themselves and ask “Where are we?”, they won’t get barraged with thirty different names, thus confusing them and sending them scurrying back where they came from. Maybe we should feel fortunate to have our galaxy named…But, that’s just not good enough. Since we’re moving towards a One World Government, let’s start with a One Name Solar System.

Another example would be Prometheus, the dude who brought fire down to man from the Greek Gods. Been done. None of the used Greek, or Roman names, please. Better check out the names of Saturn’s (ahemmmm) moons first, because there’s a lot of them and the Greeks got ‘em.

Oh, by the way, I’m Sirius about this and am going to approach a major media figure about going national with this. Maybe even make a contest out of it…with prizes and recognition…maybe even a Wikipedia entry. You’ll be immortalized. We’re talking book deals, a movie, Oprah…who knows, eh?

All entries will be researched and judged by me and Stark (she came up with the idea about naming our Solar System). If you think that “Betty” is a great name for our planet, that’s just fine with us. But, an explanation would sure help. We don’t yet know which agency has official rights to name heavenly bodies, so until that time comes, once we have picked the winners, you will hereby be forced to use the names we choose. Got it? Start submitting!

Catagories:
-Earth
-Moon
-Sun
-Solar System
-Universe (in case someone from another Universe asks what our Universe is called)

Here's Stark's entries:
(Earth)--"Gaia" (Mother Earth)
(Solar System)--"Phoenix" (Universally understood)
(Moon)--"Selene" (Greek Goddess)
(Sun)--She likes "Sol"
(The Universe)--"Chaos"
