Renaming Earth, because its a boring name.

Come to think of it, how is 'Earth' or our planet name expressed in other languages, it might sound cooler in spanish, italian, japanese, or even russian. I know the latin was Terra, but if I had to rename it for fun I would name it "Stoopid" and then spraypaint the moon "I'm with Stoopid" and yes I like to spell stupid in a funny manner.

That hot enough for you? I'm sure I had a Moon-on-Earth somewhere around here...
Really, if we ended up changing the name of our planet, I'd go for Terra. It just works, and the Terran Empire sounds friggen awesome.
After much thought, the Titan A.E, Futurama, Hitchhiker's, and Doctor Who, and other references already being taken, ignoring my own preference of Sol 3 due to its usefulness in astrological navigation, and me not wanting to go with the typical humans-suck-so-Earth-deserves-a-shitty-condescnding-name option; I have chose a suitable name for Earth.

Oh, so you're just relentlessly cynical? Sorry, I thought you had an interesting explanation to that. Should have known better on the internet.Durgiun said:
Surely if it was changed, this same conversation will be repeated at some point.

I am pretty sure that Terra is the latin word for the plaint we live on and earth I think means dirt. So Terra is more accurate I guess, but Terran means (I think) being form earth. So that could be like your cat or something just anything that lives on Earth.
I like Earth! It's better than Terra, I like that it's not another Latin name. I'm tired of everything having Latin names, Latin can fuck off. The best words are Old English, like ****.
If not Earth, I suggest 'Dirty Wet Rock Ball'.

Earth has many names actually, since it's a bit forthcoming to just go 'OKAY, THIS IS CALLED EARTH NOW EVERYONE ON THE PLANET, YOU KAY WITH THAT? OKAY'
Be it Terra, Gaia, Terre, Erde, Bhumi, Ulagam, Maa, Pamant, Fold, Ziemia, Zemlja, Zemya, Dine, Erz, Zewl, Jehun, Zamin, Tierra, Diqui, Chikyuu, Jigu, Bumi, Jorden, Bhoomi, Gi, Choma, Khthon, Dunia, Alem, Dunyaworld, Ardh', Ergir, Acun, Yeyuzu, Yerkure, Mundo, Daigdig, Lupa, Tatar, Zher or Qazaq. And that's just to name a few.
Fact is, only English speaking countries or international science teams refer to this planet as Earth. And as English is the language of choice for a lot of official shit in the world, they just call it Earth.
As Earth literally means the ground, mud, soil, and caves (Yeah, it's vague). I'd hazard a guess that the old English didn't intend for the word 'Earth' to mean the whole planet, but I guess it just turned out that way.
