Renaming Earth, because its a boring name.

[Eddie the head]

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.

 

[speakstrg17]

Lets just keep Earth

 

[BlumiereBleck]

I vote for "Planet of the horny." Why? Because of the internet.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

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.

Bah, just leave it as is. Sure it's not particularly amazing but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

[Soviet Steve]

"Francia Minor" would probably be most accurate.

 

[smaug85]

Yeah it's already called Terra or Terra Firma. (Though Terra Firma is technically "Solid Earth") Hence why it is Terra and the Terrans in Starcraft 2, duh.

 

[The]

We'll call it Johnny Internet: The Warrior.

OT

I've always liked Terra personally.

 

[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.

 

[Westaway]

"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.

 

[Olas]

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.
