I lol'd because it's kind of true given America's attitude. However, a few hundred years back, you'd have been calling it "The Empire of Great Britain (feat. a few unconquered Far Eastern territories)".
What do you mean "a few hundres years back"? It still is, we just let you think you have self determination :p

Anyway, I vote for Sol-3. When we start meeting alien races, we're going to start running out of names, fast, if we don't be systematic about it.

I think we should call it your grave.


Also I'm up for.
Sol
Gaia
Just plain Earth.
Or the Planet formally known as Earth or PFKAE for short.

Let's name the planet surrogia and make a species wide hierarchy based on blood color. That should be fun.

Babel, after the mythical tower of the old world.

I really, really, really, really like this. From a completely subjective standpoint, I mean. The point when (according to the bible) humanity was divided into it's different races, I.E. when humanity as it is today was really founded.

I think 'Babel' would make a really good name in place of 'Earth'.

If anyone gets where that's from, you may level up.

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.
Damnit! You both beat me too it, bloody ninja's, always ruining my fun.

OT: Nice touch there Timelord with the Imperial Truth from the Great Crusade era, I'm impressed. :D

Earth is already a fantastic name. Earth is simple, one syllable. Say it. It feels like dirt in your mouth. You say Earth, you can almost feel the water soaking into the soil, plants spreading their roots. I agree that Gaia is also a pretty name (I feel nothing for the Terra, save when paired with Firma, but that too is plain. Solid Ground, it pretty much means), but Gaia is wrapped up in a silly mythos. We have Earth, it's good. No storm gods required.

I vote for Earth. It's a good strong name and it's not pretentious.

I also would be completely fine with Bob. Bob is also a good strong name that doesn't sound pretentious.

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.

OT: Terra has a good argument for it as does Gaia. I can't really think of anything off the top of my head though. However I really like the Symbol for earth.

Holy Terra home of the God Emperor and center of the Imperium of Man is the shortest version I could come up with that appropriate.

I gotta vote against Bob. I know a Bob. Guy is dumber than a fence post.

Can we rename it Bob? And all Bobs on Earth are holy people somehow! :D
"Bob bless you", "Holy Bob!", "Oh my Bob..."
Its genius.

The Earth's proper name is Terra, just like The Sun's name is actually Helios.
incorrect. it's "sol"

anyway, terra would waork fine for me. just nothing rediculous.
Yeah our sun is Sol. Which I as a kid always found interesting, since that is also how we spell sun in norwegian :)

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