Renaming Earth, because its a boring name.

[tzimize]

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

But I do agree with Terra, though Terrans would refer to every animal on the planet not just humans.

Hahah...that does make some sense, but its still damn funny. A planet named water. Best suggestion untill now.

Also, its named Tellus.

 

[CleverNickname]

Why don't we just skip the fancy terms of dirt and just call it planet dirt... nevermind don't want to be called a dirtling by aliens

aww, I was just gonna quote "might as well call it Dirt"


Someone brought up the whole humanity/earthling business, so...

let's call it Humanity Prime
optimistically leaving room for the first few of our future space colonies.
Might give all the assholes on this depressing speck of space-dust some goddamn perspective, too. Maybe even pride. We're not just Germans, Americans, Arabs, Jews, Chinese and Equatorial-Guineans.
We're human.

 

[redisforever]

You cant call a planet bob.

So now you're the boss? You're the King of Bob?

 

[Urgh76]

I hereby name this planet:

Dirtville! :3

 

[Micalas]

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).

Number two of course assumes that the alien fleet is led by chronic sufferers of OCD. And not just any OCD. ALIEN OCD!

Haha, oh I have plenty of them myself, no worries. Well it's a very dry sarcastic kind of humour, I'd recommend watching an episode or two( 'Tim's not singing is a good one) and if you don't like them, it's all pretty similar

OT: Now that you have brought it to my attention, Tim would be another great name for this little planet of ours: Planet Tim!

 

[Kpt._Rob]

... You do of course realize that if it were named Terra, you would find Terra an incredibly boring name, while Earth would sound like an exotic and interesting moniker for our little speck of a planet.

 

[CrazyJew]

Damn it, I was ninja'd on the Bob.

Well then, let's call it Urectum.

 

[Akytalusia]

i'm gonna have to go with "Sol-3". i like to keep things simple. there's no need to complicate matters by naming it.

 

[A Satanic Panda]

Hyacintho Marmore, Latin for "Blue Marble"

Hymor?

Cinthomore

Like how they got Rodan from "pteranodon"

 

[BlackStar42]

When I become Emperor of Mankind, my first decree shall be to rename the planet Batman. Because he's the goddamn Batman.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Probably something along the lines of Terra or Gaia, or maybe even mix them together into Tergaia... or something.

 

[TheLastSamurai14]

I hereby name this planet:

Dirtville! :3

I vote Pegasopolis. Filthy ground-walking peasant.

OT: I'm kind of torn between Terra and Gaia. Both are traditional Latin/Greek names for our planet, and sound really awesome, but of course, we English speakers have to be boring.

I mean really, Terrans or Gaians? Sounds way cooler than Earthlings.

 

[Metalix Knightmare]

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

In the name of the God Emperor, this man speaks absolute truth!

As I sit in my room, listening to the rain and waiting for sleep to take me, I started to think about the universe, and then, more narrowly, about our own little blue marble amongst the stars. Now, I may be alone in this but I think that the name Earth is a fucking boring. If it were left up to me, I would rename it Terra, and instead of being humans, we would be Terrans. Its just more interesting that being from boring old earth, instead, we would be Terrans, with our goliaths and vultures, and mighty Terran empire (or confederacy for those less inclined to Imperialism).

So what you you rename this fine planet of ours?

The only reason you find the name "Earth" to be boring is because it's normal. Earth has been referred to as Earth for as long as you can remember, so it's going to seem boring. Terra would get boring as well.

Although, for the sake of just plain fun, I kinda like "Midgard". Don't know what humans would be called in relation to that, but who cares when you have a name like Midgard.

 

[dogenzakaminion]

Well, here in Sweden the alternate name for Earth is "Tellus". Maybe that would work?

I was just going to say. In Norway we also call it Tellus, and apparently it's another Ancient Greek name. Not commonly known.

 

[Havegun]

"Herpaderp, let's call it the same, but in latin."

I'm not particularly bothered with Earth's name, but Sol-3 makes sense.

Terribly sorry, but I'll be using Mass Effect real quick. Your statement of us being renamed Terrans is for what? Our planet is Terra?

Quarians are from Rannoch.
Turians are from Palaven.
Krogans are from Tuchanka.
Humans are from Earth.

I do agree Earth is a boring name, but humans sound just fine.

 

[Hawk of Battle]

Terra.
Luna.
Sol.

No more discussion is needed.

 

[GameMaNiAC]

'Holy Terra [http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Terra]' is the only name I'd want to give it.
