Renaming Earth, because its a boring name.

[kaizen2468]

I've been calling it Chamalama Ding-Dong for years but it hasn't caught on...

 

[Andrew_C]

obviously we should call it Planet Claire.

 

[Olas]

Venus II

or

Little Bluey

 

[ChaplainOrion]

We should call it America!

 

[Olas]

Realistically in 50 years we'll probably be planet Walmart.
Or Google Earth.

"Terra" is latin, but I prefer ancient greek in general, so for the purpose of this thread I prefer "Gaia."

The mighty Gaian Empire is way more bad ass than Terran.

If we're just going to pull names out of fiction I suggest we go back to calling our planet "Arda" like it was in the times of old.

Titan A.E., I win! I win! I win...nothing

i just watched that like last week... weird. I was thinking it was off of Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy..

 

[NZpablo]

defiantly name it "that medium size blueish planet somewhere on the outer arm of the milky way galaxy" it rolls of the tongue.

2000 years time... on the galacticaly wireless connected mind web forums- where people from earth go to to discuss mind-controlled future games, where they reenact the intergalactic wars of 3547-3592...

Thread: Renaming Zpptlam-1A because its a boring name.

Post 1: I we should rename it, as it's a really boring name... I wish it was called Earth... that is an awesome name!

Post 2: Well technically it is still called Earth, the ancient English speaking peoples of the worls say so... mind-click this link...

(Sorry couldn't resist! Wasn't meant to be malicious, just poking fun!)

Charlie Sheen-
named after The hero of our time.

Full gif fix.

Also, I support this motion.

 

[The_Blue_Rider]

We should call it Frieza Planet 419

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

We shall call it Dirtville!

 

[triggrhappy94]

This is the first thing that came to my mind
(Huh? It appears I can't find the clip on line.)
I was thinking of the scene from the Family Guy movie, where Trisha is in San Fransico interviewing people about changing the city's name to, "something alittle less gay."
And older Stewy responds, "Well, I'd call it heaven, because of all the great shoe shopping"

So that.

EDIT:

Spoiler: Current planet name not good enough?

 

[jamesbrown]

terra- earth
sol- sun
luna- moon
Humanity- us
Human- One of us

I wanted to make "slang" names for these, but I can't sorry

 

[algalon]

Dirt. Planet Dirt.

Eh, naming the planet after a greek god feels weird to me (especially since we named all the other planets after the Roman gods), and it would be even weirder to give it a girl's name. I've never heard of anyone (sane) named Earth, so to me it's a nice, neutral name. Luna is the name of the moon, but since it's our one and only moon we just call it "the moon." Same for Sol, our sun.

Besides, Earth just sounds right. It's a good, strong name which fits well for the densest planet in our system and also the largest terrestrial one. Most of our planet is made of fucking IRON. That's fucking hardcore. Terra just sounds wimpy, like every other Latin word that doesn't end in "-us."

Wikipedia:
It is the largest of the four solar terrestrial planets in size and mass. Of these four planets, Earth also has the highest density, the highest surface gravity, the strongest magnetic field, and fastest rotation, and is probably the only one with active plate tectonics.

That's right. EARTH, ************!

(Notice how TERRA, ************ just doesn't have the same punch.)

So, rename our planet Ferrum?

 

[Mr Dizazta]

Rename the planet Palaven.
