*Taps foot* Why exactly do you have a problem with my name? It's worked perfectly fine for me going on 26 years now.Pinkie-Pie-Party said:
Unrelated: I also get slightly irritated whenever I see the "little Timmy" thing get used whenever someone brings up children doing things they're no supposed to. There are so many names that could work there, yet for some reason mine gets to be default for bad/lame/immature. This is merely a slight pet peeve of mine, you just happened to provide the opportunity to express it.
The Sun's name is actually Fred. I can't believe how hurtful and disrespectful you guys are to Fred.Regnes said:
Terra? That sounds just as boring as Earth tbh.
Call it "Tyrannical Licky Spoon 4", with the collective race being called simply "spoons". It has two advantages:
1) Its fun to say out loud.
2) If we're ever invaded by an alien fleet, they may waste time looking for the first 3 planets (Tyrannicl Licky Spoon 1, 2 & 3).

God damn it. Well there goes my idea.OhJohnNo said:
While I can agree that Earth is a boring name, we should at least try to come up with something more creative than another way of saying dirt. Kind of make you wonder what aliens call our planet.
Sol 3 is what we will use. that is my guess when we are hanging at the citadel with Garrus at the pub and chatting where we are from
It's only boring because you heard it since the day you were born. In a way though, it doesn't really jive with the rest of the planet's names. Terra would be a good choice, but I've always been a fan of Gaia. Still though, Will Smith punching an alien and saying "Welcome to Terra" isn't nearly as amusing.
Oh sorry, that was a reference to my favourite show, 'the life and times of tim', his boss says that when they meet for the first timeDoc Slingblade said:
sorry if I offended, have absolutely nothing against your name.( I also quite like your username )
I think it's quite a good name, Earth. The other planets in sci-fi are all named like Zoron or Selius or whatever. Ours name is a little different, but if I were global emperor, I guess I'd name it Batman or Rowan Atkinson or Feargus Urquhart or something.
Hence why I said more commonly, ala I can call it such without being given queer looks by everyone in the vicinity.Jaeke said:
Europe gets to be Tamriel, we called it. We get to be Tamriel. Everyone else can decide what they are between Yokuda, Aldmeris, Akavir, and Atmora. Have at it.Jaeke said:
I'm a diplomat.
Oh, well if that's the case, then don't worry about it. I haven't seen that show and therefore didn't catch the reference. I wouldn't say I'm offended persay, it just bugs me a tad is all. Much like stubbing your toe, it does no real damage, but it is a little frustrating. Like I said, it's just a pet peeve of mine, most of us have at least one. So, with that under the bridge, is the show good? Should I check it out?Pinkie-Pie-Party said:Oh sorry, that was a reference to my favourite show, 'the life and times of tim', his boss says that when they meet for the first timeDoc Slingblade said:
Naming it Terra in spite of Earth is pointless - They mean the same thing. "Terra" means "Earth" in latin, and Likewise Terra means Earth in English.
You're literally not changing the word at all, only changing the language you're taking the noun from.
