Renaming Earth, because its a boring name.

[KingHodor]

The planets in our solar system are actually reachable on Wikipedia with their standardized designations of first naming the central star and then counting outward.

For example, our star would be "Sol" (being the Latin word for "sun", clever, huh?), making planet Mercury "Sol-1", Venus becomes "Sol-2" and Earth is, you guessed it, "Sol-3". Interestingly, "Sol-9" still links to Pluto, which I'm pretty sure is outdated because it is no longer a planet.

"Sol Prime" is another term that links to earth, although there doesn't seem to be an official rule for that - while most are willing to give good old Terra the "prime" designation for being the most densely populated/earliest discovered/hub of civilization, others would see it as a synonym for "Sol-1", i.e. Mercury (I remember that's how games like Master of Orion 2 handled it).

I say we call it Rectum.

'Cause it's the biggest shithole in the universe.

That reminds me of a conversation me and my friend had when we were young and not quite as mature. We would name anything under our control myrectum, myballs, or any similar socially inappropriate body part preceded by my. Our logic told us that nobody would invade just out of plain embarrassment.

Reminds me of a story I heard. Back in Yugoslavia some things were named Tito's X. There was one place called Jajce (meaning ''small egg''. But ''jaja'' is also slang for ''testicles''.) It was never renamed.

We should name it... The Spanish Inquisition.
Somebody, please, I've given you the set-up. DO WHAT YOU MUST.

At least nobody would expect it...

OT:Gallifrey, obviously.

 

[Matt Smmith]

I think we should name it Ameurafrica. That's all the inhabited continents, since Asia is really part of Europe.

 

[dvd_72]

What about Binky? It's a good enough name for deaths horse, why not for our little planet?

 

[Gizmo1990]

How has nobody said Gallifrey yet?

Pretty sure Uranus is already.

Terra sounds good to me. When I am the Global Emperor I shall rename it to Terra and we shall all be Terrans.

We live in the Sol System, which is a solar system

Actually, I believe that solar system refers specifically to our star system. It is The Solar System.

Anyway, this planet is 'Terra.' (Latin for Earth). It sounds fine to me.

I stand corrected. You are right
As the others are called Star systems

 

[Terminate421]

Lets call it Sera.

 

[ATRAYA]

I'm gonna go with Dirtville.

????????????????

This endlessly confuses me.

Bob.

Anyone who gets my reference wins a lifetime's supply of nothing whatsoever.

i came expecting the Titan AE reference, and am not leaving disappointed

 

[warrcry13]

Holy Terra is the only suitable name for 'Earth.'

Heretic! The Imperial Truth does not deal in your religious views!

And anyway, to be "Holy Terra" you'd need the corpse of a omnipotent being sitting on an incredibly complex machine deep in the Himalayan Mountains that holds the horrors of the warp at bay for all time.

You mean we don't already have that?

Yeah I really don't see a reason to rename it. Not unless we find a another species sometime, and they have a planet with an awesome name. We just can't let them win with the name of our planet.

I proposed we rename our planet, which is called Earth, ''Rectum'' because I think it is a giant shithole. And, since I know of no other planet that has human-like stupidity on it, I view it as not just a giant shithole, but the biggest shithole in the universe.

If I expand on it anymore I'll be writing a Stephen King length novel. That's a thought.

PDIBPA.

Primitive Dirtball Inhabited By Psychotic Apes. Not to catchy but damn accurate.

 

[Aethren]

My buddies over in Alpha Centari say the planet's name is Sol-3. Makes it easier for astro-navigation. So I'm gonna go with that.

Captcha: I am here O.O

 

[gigastar]

I vote we call it New Scammerdonia.
[sub]Seriously how have we gotten to page 5 without a Futurama reference yet?[/sub]

Logically we'd call this planet Water instead of Earth... there's a lot more of that.

By that logic we would be calling it Magma, theres a damn lot more magma under the crust than there is earth and water and air put together.

 

[scorptatious]

I shall rename the planet Earth: Bob.
