This is the first thing that came to my mind
(Huh? It appears I can't find the clip on line.)
I was thinking of the scene from the Family Guy movie, where Trisha is in San Fransico interviewing people about changing the city's name to, "something alittle less gay."
And older Stewy responds, "Well, I'd call it heaven, because of all the great shoe shopping"
So that.

EDIT:
terra- earth
sol- sun
luna- moon
Humanity- us
Human- One of us
I wanted to make "slang" names for these, but I can't sorry

Eh, naming the planet after a greek god feels weird to me (especially since we named all the other planets after the Roman gods), and it would be even weirder to give it a girl's name. I've never heard of anyone (sane) named Earth, so to me it's a nice, neutral name. Luna is the name of the moon, but since it's our one and only moon we just call it "the moon." Same for Sol, our sun.
Besides, Earth just sounds right. It's a good, strong name which fits well for the densest planet in our system and also the largest terrestrial one. Most of our planet is made of fucking IRON. That's fucking hardcore. Terra just sounds wimpy, like every other Latin word that doesn't end in "-us."
(Notice how TERRA, ************ just doesn't have the same punch.)

Oh, but it is called Terra... and also la Terre in French, which is female... also le Monde in French, which is male. Fun enough? In German, It's called Erde, which is very close to that boring Earth of yours, but then again, in German "der Mond" refers to the moon, just to confuse us a little bit more (or tell tales of early confusion amongst travellers and failed intercultural exchanges).
I think we should stick with "Earth" just because it sounds so refreshingly odd... ör?... I mean... come on, it's silly!
The Chinese call it "tǔ", which is also used to refer to soil (as in many other languages), but also to "spitting" or "spitting out"... yeah, I sometimes still wonder if Chinese is just a practical joke played on mankind or if its as philosophical in nature as they want us to believe or if it's maybe just a wee bit too down-to-earth in its approach to putting meaning into syllables... and then making up crazy scribbles.

While I agree, I just want to point out that Earth doesn't sound at all like Orf.Headdrivehardscrew said:
I am nth-ing the choice "Midgard". Why use Latin for eeeeeeeverything? Let's use a different language for once.
Also, the sun's official name is Sol and the Earth has no official name, but is also referred to by its Latin name, Terra.

Latin is great because we don't have native speakers fu**ing up the meanings of words.
Scientists tried using English and see what happened. The idiots in the street changed the meaning of the word from to and suddenly they don't take scientific theories serious and more.
Therefore: Sol - Terra - Luna. Or Sol and Sol-3 for navigation.

Would you just make 'Earthlings', Gaians? Or Gaiatish? Gai-ish? Gaishans? Gaiards? Gaialings?isometry said:
OT: Gaia doesn't sound too bad, maybe if we got cool Adept powers from Golden Sun it'd be better[footnote]"Greetings, alien scum, I'm Gaian, maybe you've heard of us *Bio uses Ragnarok!*"[/footnote]
Hmm, our defining feature in both our solar system and even our part of the galaxy is how he have liquid water on out surface, neither frozen nor boiled away.
I say name it... waterworld:
But because that movie was kinda lame, lets look to the Ancient Greeks, the progenitors of our modern civilisation in terms of ideas of discourse, democracy and education and so on (shame that autocratic and dogmatic religions got in the way for several thousand years). They call water "nero". So this planet could be Neros, or something that means "wetrock".
