You Too Can Name the Moons of Pluto

[Evil Smurf]

Erky and Perky seem good names

 

[emeraldrafael]

Peresphone should definitely make it for sure, if not i'll be disappointed.

as for the other, i picked orpheus mostly cause im a persona fan. I think cerberus is a bit too cool sounding of a name to use here. it would be much cooler if we found some sorta exoplanet with three moons or something to do with three.

Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 2930

And then what... came back in time a thousand years to break the news to everyone?

Yeah I'm thinking Persephone and Styx as well.

Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 2930

He came back in time and instead of warning us about Hitler or something, he gives us Pluto, which a time after he tells us of it, we throw out its planet status? Yeah, that was worth it.

And then what... came back in time a hundred years to break the news to everyone?

Try a thousand.

I vote that one of the moons be named Soren, so that in arguments, I can say "Oh yeah, well I have a moon named after me!"

A hundred years?

You get relegated to grade 5.

I vote for Thelma and Louise or Bonnie and Clyde.

Don't tell that, given the chance to activate the world's only time machine, there isn't even a tiny part of you that would be tempted to use it in the most pointless way you could think of just to spite everyone who wanted to solve world hunger.

 

[Shadow-Phoenix]

Orpheus and Acheron sound interesting.

Too bad they can't name them Kaon and Iacon.

 

[Lonewolfm16]

I immediatly thought Cerberus, but I was a bit torn between Persophone and Styx, but I feel they should be named after charecters in Hades, rather than major geographic features of Hades. Calling a small moon orbitting Pluto Styx, refering to the giant river running into the underwolrd, on which the boatman Charon drives his boat just feels weird. So Cerberus and Persophone it is, with Orpheus being a close second.

 

[KrimsonNekros]

Persephone and Cerberus were my choices. Persephone was his wife, and you gotta have Cerberus. He's a great guard dog and an excellent representative of the trichotomy of time and how it invades everything even death.

 

[Lyvric]

I voted for Cerberus and Styx, they sound the best to me plus they link nicely from a mythology standpoint.

I also went with this. How could cerberus not have a spot with pluto?

Haha ooh boy do I look like a twit now.

Still, since nobody mentioned it beforehand I should get a bonus for that. Guess in the end I just broke even.

 

[The Critic]

I say Persephone and Acheron, though I actually like all of the names available.

 

[Eagi]

Yeah that appealed to me as well, given it's the outer edge of our solar system they seem to bar our way in to the darkness.

 

[Basement Cat]

Name one Peanut.

Name the other one Butter.

Mmmmmm...

 

[Eicha]

Equestria and 4Chan.

 

[batti]

Hungur(Hunger) and Sultur(Famine), the cutlery of Hel in Norse mythology

 

[FalloutJack]

Mondas and Telos.

At least until we discover a tenth planet.

There had been one, but I think it was registered too small and just gets called Planet X.

Anyway, Mondas exploded.

Come! Orpheus!

Spoiler

My vote goes to Orpheus and Thanatos, then.

 

[Daverson]

Ahem. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1865_Cerberus]

There's literally more names in Roman mythology than anyone can deal with, how the heck do we keep trying to give planets the same name?

 

[MrCalavera_v1legacy]

Cerberus and... i got nothing

 

[Thamian]

I went with Cerberus and Erebus. The former because he was the guardian of the underworld, the second because he was a spirit in the underworld who's wife/lover/mother-of-his-children was already represented among the moons (Nix).
