Poll: If you could re-name the planets, would you?

[Mr. Omega]

Let's say some guy gives you the chance to change the official name of any of the planets. Would you do it? Which ones would you rename, and what would you rename them?

edit: Yeah, I chose to put up a poll, but forgot to fill it out before posting, and now I can't edit the poll, so there's nothing there. Oops...

 

[New Troll]

Where's the poll?

And no. They're named after gods which is good enough for me. Well, maybe Pluto to Red-headed Step-child.

 

[Digitman]

Earth is now Flagtland

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

Earth would OFFICIALLY be Terra and the rest would be the seven deadly sins.

 

[omicron1]

I'd rename Earth Eden Prime... wait. That might be a bad idea.

 

[glyphseeker]

uranus is now sunaru

 

[crudus]

Yes, I would named each planet "Set". One for each definition of the word.

 

[katsumoto03]

Yes because fuck the roman gods. I'd name them after the Norse ones instead.

 

[Reed Spacer]

I would name Uranus Urasshole.

I mean, the place is being made fun of already; may as well get it out of the way.

 

[Canid117]

Nah they are fine as is though I would reinstate Pluto as a planet.

 

[Leg End]

I would rename them after the Sailor Senshi! Wait a minute...

Yes.

But you would not like the names. Because you just wouldn't.

 

[Jark212]

Earth - Terra
Moon - Luna
Sun - Sol

So set up the standards from Latin...

 

[Blue_vision]

Probably not. Their names are all fine as it is (for the West at least,) though I'd just put a blanket around everything referring to Earth life as Gian, rather than Terran.

 

[Purple Shrimp]

Mercury -> Geoffrey
Venus -> Yvonne
Earth -> Connor
Mars -> Alvin
Jupiter -> Otto
Saturn -> Franz
Uranus -> Darren
Neptune -> Wilbur

 

[MrMoustaffa]

I would name them all Pluto, just to punish astrologists for taking away Pluto's planethood.

 

[Angus565]

Oh you would not want me naming the planets
Why?

Spoiler: Here is my thoughts while looking at them and trying...they're not pretty.

Sun: DAMMIT, MY EYES!
Mercury: I could go for a coke right now...
Venus: HA! rhymes with penis :3
Earth: HEY! I LIVE THERE!
Mars: Big Red!
Jupiter: um i dunno
Saturn: Sexy rings
Uranus: Ha! anus
Neptune: That's the ocean dude right?
Pluto: Pft, not even a planet
The Moon: Ha-ha our moon is bigger then Mar's moons!

I warned you.

 

[vxicepickxv]

I'd probably just give them numbers to make tracking easy.

Mercury - Sol 1. Venus - Sol 2. Earth - Sol 3. Mars - Sol 4.

and so on, until we got up to 8.

 

[Berserker119]

Yes because fuck the roman gods. I'd name them after the Norse ones instead.

So what would Earth be renamed to?

 

[Polaris19]

Only one. And it'd only be to stop the jokes...

To what? I don't honestly know. L

 

[Ophiuchus]

I would name all of the planets Nieuw-Vennep... because Nieuw-Vennep is a good name for a planet.
