You Get To Name Our Next Planet

[Corialos]

Skaia maybe. Cool name, cool planet.

Damn. Ninja'd.

Hmm...I'd say my choices are split between "Planet Homestuck," "Corialos" (it's a name I've used for tons of my fiction-writing projects; yes, I am that vain, as it's also my screenname), "Demeter" (I've always been partial to the Greco-Roman nomenclature), and uh... How about "Planet Suck-It!?"

The capitol city of Planet Suck-It will be "Future Alien Visitors". Or maybe, "NASA", because of the whole abandonment of the space program thing.

Planet: Planet
Yessssss

 

[Terminate421]

Reach

Yes, I said it.

 

[Conza]

Just a simple thought I had on the bus today, let's say a new planet was discovered that in a few short years we would begin to colonize, it would be our first planet to live on that isn't Earth. By luck you win a lottery that gives you the privilege to name this new home of humanity, so what would you name it?

Personally I'd want to call it Eden Prime, yes because it's from Mass Effect but also because I think it's an appropiate name for our second home. So what would you call it?

Yeah, but Eden Prime has bad luck dude, we don't have a Commander Shepard handy to kill all those Geth that'll come to it yet.

Earth II would have to be the most boring; Terra II I suppose. Sol II, maybe...

 

[Rule Britannia]

I would name it Thamriel
and then follow this criteria:

 

[Aprilgold]

Erect Cock. Just to see the media of people who hate cock's reactions. Would be some funny shit, I tell you.

 

[Darren716]

Equestria it sounds like nothing can go wrong there.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Reach or Griffin.

Well, you took my idea. I wanted to name it Reach.

Reach

Yes, I said it.

Woot!

OT: Hm. Korhal sounds good. That or Armageddon.

 

[Cain_Zeros]

Zendikar. Hopefully the planet doesn't decide to kill us after we settle it though.

 

[Vitagen]

Nova.

Because it's awesome, easy to pronounce and because it means new.

It also has some---er---implications when talking about space.

OT: I'd call it Non Terrore. It's Latin for "don't panic."

 

[Sectan]

Omicron Persei. Maybe add in the 8 just to confuse people.

Other than that, Senna since in a sci-fi story I made, the main character came from a colony of the same name. Granted, she didn't like the planet much, but still, I like the name.

 

[TheNaut131]

Dammit, this is a lot harder for me than I thought it would be. Give me a moment...

I got it. It too a bit of thought, but I finally have it.

Ferb.

 

[PUR3_GAM3R33]

If it's the same size as Earth: Nova Spes (Latin for New Hope)

If it's the same size as the gas plants: Terra Maximus (Grand Terra,Terra is Latin for "The land of" so basically it would be "The land of grand ..." we'll just put the best feature or thing in place of the dots.)

If it's bigger than Jupiter*: Magnus Mundus (Latin for "Great New World")

*which I hope it is,I've always liked the idea of living on a planet that's bigger than Jupiter. I don't know why X)

 

[Callum Walker]

mmmmm...Cybertron? I always thought that sounded like it could be real.

 

[Thaius]

Bob

titan AE reference FTW.

I can't quote the original because he got a low content warning, but this is awesome. Also, Titan AE was a great film.

But me, I'd make a Star Wars reference. Not sure what.

Or I could call it Miranda, dooming it to a horrible fate as a failed experiment. I would like to think by then Firefly would have been seen and loved by everyone, so everyone would get the joke.

I could also call it Equestria. That would be fun. Hmm...

 

[Lunar Templar]

Bob

titan AE reference FTW.

Damn, didn't expect someone to recognize it that fast!

that fast? it was literally my first thought when i saw the thread title

 

[Flight]

I'd be completely ridiculous and name the planet something like Fluffykins, just because I found it entertaining. It would most likely get renamed, though.

 

[NinjaZat]

If it's a tropical place it's either "New Florida" (In which case we turn the whole planet into an old folks home) Or. "Don't drink the water"
