Congratulations! You've just won an all-expenses paid holiday for one on a secluded island owned by an eccentric doctor! All you have to do is sign this disclaimer allowing us to do whatever the hell we want with you, and off you jet on a specially chartered flight with Moreau Airways for your luxury trip!

On that note, I like the idea of Terrans or Earthlings. Though I don't see why we can't just stick to 'humans', it's what we're all used to after all...

Can't see anything suspicious about that!

Well human does sound boring, and it isn't the globally accepted name for our race so... maybe "Gaians"? After the Greek Titan Gaia, god of the earth and mother to the world.

Terran is still so cool though Terra Firma, after all. damn starcraft for taking it first.

I am for Omega Chimps, or Alpha Chimps, seeing as how there are already Pygmy Chimps and we share 95% of Chimpanzee DNA.

To even suggest we change our species name is insulting.....to me anyway.

We are "Humans" and should wear that title with great pride.
I have to agree, what the hell is wrong with human?

I usually calls us for mennesker (The Danish word for humans).

Long pig can also be used although it is not flattering at all.

Perhaps we should just use the German Mensch (since I like the sound of it) or stick to the scientific name of Homo sapiens.

in all these movies they talk about what makes you human and all that crap, but what is so great about being human. There are plenty of organisms with souls that arrn't human. They show emotions and can show acts of compasion. oh they can't speak? Yes they can we just can't translate most of it like the twits we really are. Terrans could refer to any organism from eart so it covers to wide a base. How about Gaian Supremus, or Terra Sapien

The Race Formerly Known as Humans seems to be a good idea to me.

...That, or Terrans. I like the sound of that one for some reason.
Todays a good day to kill a Monty Python joke before it starts...
How about the electrosapiens?
Wait! I just thought of the perfect name! Its **************** [ACCESS DENIED]

I like how the book series Warriors called us:

"Twolegs." that's two legs for all the dipshits out there.

it sounds like what alien species might call us at first.

...Proud of what?

Seriously, what have we done to be so proud of? We've been around as a species for around 120 thousand years and we're not even exactly "intelligent" yet. We function on the same principle as any other animal on earth with the minor difference that we're insanely more destructive, reckless and pretentious.

Human? What are you talking about? We are Geth. We have always been Ge- oh, I see. It's a trick. Yes, ofcourse I'm human. Nothing to see here.

Speaking of ME, why can't we be Turians? I mean, if we meet another species, they won't know, right? They'll probably never have played the game. We tell them we're Turians, that's what they'll call us. Step up, if you ask me.

Oh and instead of white people, can we have "vanilla flavored?"
I support this whole-heartedly!

OT: You can name yourselves whatever you want. I haven't considered myself human for years. Humans have a full spectrum of emotion. I have... like, two. :T
