Renaming Earth, because its a boring name.

[Aurgelmir]

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

Actually, I believe that solar system refers specifically to our star system. It is The Solar System.

Anyway, this planet is 'Terra.' (Latin for Earth). It sounds fine to me.

I stand corrected. You are right
As the others are called Star systems

 

[Terminate421]

Lets call it Sera.

 

[ATRAYA]

I'm gonna go with Dirtville.

 

[lacktheknack]

I say we call it Rectum.

'Cause it's the biggest shithole in the universe.

????????????????

This endlessly confuses me.

Bob.

Anyone who gets my reference wins a lifetime's supply of nothing whatsoever.

i came expecting the Titan AE reference, and am not leaving disappointed

 

[warrcry13]

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.

You mean we don't already have that?

Yeah I really don't see a reason to rename it. Not unless we find a another species sometime, and they have a planet with an awesome name. We just can't let them win with the name of our planet.

I proposed we rename our planet, which is called Earth, ''Rectum'' because I think it is a giant shithole. And, since I know of no other planet that has human-like stupidity on it, I view it as not just a giant shithole, but the biggest shithole in the universe.

If I expand on it anymore I'll be writing a Stephen King length novel. That's a thought.

PDIBPA.

Primitive Dirtball Inhabited By Psychotic Apes. Not to catchy but damn accurate.

My buddies over in Alpha Centari say the planet's name is Sol-3. Makes it easier for astro-navigation. So I'm gonna go with that.

Captcha: I am here O.O

 

[gigastar]

I vote we call it New Scammerdonia.
[sub]Seriously how have we gotten to page 5 without a Futurama reference yet?[/sub]

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

By that logic we would be calling it Magma, theres a damn lot more magma under the crust than there is earth and water and air put together.

 

[scorptatious]

I shall rename the planet Earth: Bob.

 

[Stealthfighterx]

Liberty Prime sounds pretty reasonable.

 

[BishopofAges]

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.

captcha: cut and run, th-th-th-th-that's all folks *booked it*

 

[Da Orky Man]

Keith.

Lets name our planet 'Keith'.

But then our planet would totally never get laid!

It's totally had its eye on Venus for the last half century!

Captcha: that's hot

Captcha, why do you have a thing for planet sex!?

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.

 

[TheNaut131]

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.

Bacon.

Oh, so you're just relentlessly cynical? Sorry, I thought you had an interesting explanation to that. Should have known better on the internet.

 

[lacktheknack]

I think we should name it Ameurafrica. That's all the inhabited continents, since Asia is really part of Europe.

No Oceania? Awwww.

Surely if it was changed, this same conversation will be repeated at some point.
"Earth" is only boring because its been used for decades/centuries/whatever...
