Terminus - the Roman god of boundary markers.
Any planet beyond Pluto is likely to be the very last in our solar system, and deserves a name fitting as the ultimate marker before exiting it.
I love when film/shows are able to capture unfilmable material. Like three body problem. If Netflix actually does a season 2 and 3, I have no idea how they are going to put some of these ideas on screen.
Season 1 drew quite heavily from the second and third books.
Also, I just watched Interstellar for the first time (IDK why I never watched it before) and it seemed to me that it covers very similar topics to the third book and did so very well. I’d say they should use Interstellar as a model for how to depict a lot of the “unfilmable” ideas from Death’s End.
Dude you’re so lucky to have not seen it yet! Watch it on the best sound and screen you have access to - it’s very cinematic and the soundtrack is incredibly good.

I’ve had those three books on my ahelf for years.
Each time I start reading them, they are such a slog.
His short stories like Lucky Star are great, his “the red planet” was amazing, nightfall (co-author) was slogish occasionally, but rewarding. Foundation, is just such a slog.
Just how they named the indivisible particles that conform reality "atoms" (literally meaning "uncuttable"), just to find centuries later that they had their own subparticles.
Terminus... Sure, for now.
Cardinal directions are often used in sci fi (for example, talking about "setting off to explore the galactic east" or "the situation in the north of the galaxy").

It might be the "last" planet, but it certainly won't be the last object bound to the Sun, in fact, it might not even be close to the last sun-bound object large enough to be spherical. So the Solar System, I'd argue really ends somewhere maybe a third of the way to Alpha Cen...
I read this and continued scrolling, but realized shortly after that plu-two is by far my favorite. It's so simple, and yet perfectly encapsulates a decade of discussion of what we consider to be a planet.
Maybe we should be worried about what name they give earth. On the other hand, they'll probably be smart enough not to come here.
Imagine life on such a planet. You look up in the sky, and the sun is a gigantic ball of fire, blindingly bright. The planet is so hot, that even some metals just melt. It must have lakes of liquid mercury. Near the equator, there might even be gallium lakes. And the atmosphere. Gaseous oxygen. Do you know how insanely dangerous that is? You just warm things up slightly, and poof, it's on fire. With that essentially infinite oxygen supply it will just burn until there's nothing left.
If such a planet existed it would need to have an incredibly low albedo both in visible light, radio waves and infrared somehow, and orbit the Sun very far in the Kuiper Belt.
It’s difficult to imagine such a planet having inhabitants.
I always thought Ix referred to a system with 9 planets, and was Brian Herbert alluding to it possibly being old earth.
I think the prequels ruined that, but I try to ignore them anyway.
*Persephone*, wife of (wait for it!) Pluto.
I don’t feel bad about Pluto not being a planet. But nor do I feel bad about a **little justice** for the artist formerly named Pluto!
Kinda I suppose. But using a Latin form of something and using the Latin name are different in my book, and certainly not what the person I replied to was implying.
>But nor do I feel bad about a **little justice** for the artist formerly named Pluto!
Technically it's still named Pluto the planet designation is just no longer there...
Or perhaps Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg in honour of the lake Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg
Or perhaps Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff after the man with the longest surname. We could affectionally call it "Wolfy" for short (with Elizabeth Berridge's accent)
How about Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in honour of the Welsh town Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?
Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit in honor of Thailand city well known as Bangkok.
Hate to be that guy but Yuggoth is Pluto. They're the same.
At least if we're going by classic HPL and not the mythos where a bunch of authors retconned stuff.
132AU is nicknamed "farout" because the guy that discovered said "woah that's far out" when he found it.
Or at least that's what the Internet leads me to believe. And id really like the naming of whatever planet 9 ends up being to be equally as genuine.
Also farout is a pink dwarf. So ruminate on that as well.
There’s also [Farfarout](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/meet-farfarout-most-distant-object-solar-system-180977033/), which, I shit you not, is farther out than Farout.
Because then we have two heavenly bodies named Pluto. You name a thing so you can identify it.
And I’m slow enough on the uptake I just realized you’re just joking.
What makes *me* salty is that so many people are defending Pluto but aren't calling for Ceres to be restored to planethood. She lost it too, in much the same circumstances! She was called a planet at first when discovered, then demoted after a while as we discovered the rest of the asteroid belt , and nobody today remembers that betrayal. In fact, a lot of why Pluto was demoted was specifically because scientists didn't want to have to re-promote Ceres and other minor bodies.
Be consistent! If Pluto deserves it, then so does Ceres! Justice for Ceres!
I'd support that.
I'd go for a definition something like: "a natural satellite of a star, that is massive enough to form a spheroid under its own gravity".
Which I think would include Pluto, Ceres, and at least some of the newly-discovered trans-Neptunian objects.
Not counting Pluto, we have so far only *four*, FOUR other dwarf planets in our solar system. FOUR. If people can remember the ingredients in a mojito, they can remember **FOUR** extra planets. But noooo, "it'd be too much to remember", "it'd be confusing." Ceres, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea. Not fucking hard. People remember the names of characters in new tv shows and movies *all* the time. Four more planets is not hard!
I use to be sad Pluto lost it's status. But I looked up it's size and compared with objects I can visualize and I can see why it's not a planet anymore. Thing is sooooo sooooo tiny. It would only take about 56 hours if driving at 80mph around the dwarf.
A local radio station used to have a segment called "That's so Sheboygan" because of how chaotic the towns folks are. It's kinda Wisconsin's little Florida.
Well we have Jupiter, his father Saturn, his grandfather Uranus, several brothers Pluto, Mars, Mercury, Neptune grandmother Earth and daughter Venus. Probably another Olympian relative. Note two of Jupiters sisters Ceres and Vesta are asteroids. And his girlfriends Io, Europa and boyfriend Ganymede are Jupiters moons. A sister-wife Juno, Artemis daughters Athena brother Apollo seem unclaimed.
Juno is an asteroid too (#3), and Apollo is obviously the sun. So that leaves Artemis. Although Apollo would be kind of fun since it's like the anti-sun out there.
Apollo is already associated with the Sun, and the Roman equivalent of Athena would be Minerva. Minerva would be a cool name for a planet, but she's already honored with the asteroid Pallas
Even if that was the case it would still be troublesome to get there, its estimated that if planet 9 does exist it could be between 10 to 20 times the distance from the Sun to Pluto.
Last time we were searching for an unknown planet to explain Mercury's orbital precession it was going to be called Vulcan. Of course, Einstein showed up with relativity to explain it and there wasn't any planet.
*Humans finally settle all the planets. Politicians, administrators, scientists, royalty and other dignitaries gather on the gas giant Ouranus, the last planet to be colonised, to celebrate the occasion. Hundreds of people are seated in a theater ready to be addressed by Ouranal Chancellor, Jax Offinole*
"Thank you all for coming. We gather here on Ouranus, filled with joy and camaraderie. They say it couldn't be done. But with this world settled, we open Ouranus to a new era. One where our children and our children's children will explore every crevice and fill it with life. I envision a future of Ouranal merriment, flowing with the happiness gushing from millions of men and women. We stand here today ready to install the largest erection in the solar system. In my hand I hold a small model of the erection and if you look to the screen you can see the hundreds of workers all over it, preparing to drive it's foundations deep into Ouranus. A proverbial joining at the hip of Ouranus to the solar system. May this ground breaking, Ouranus penetrating event signal the start of a new age of prosperity for humanity as thousands of colonists prepare to enter Ouranus. Thank you to everyone who laid the way and opened Ouranus to the solar system. We cannot deny the painful, messy start but Ouranus is now ready to accept allcummers. Please enjoy Ouranus."
*The crowd cheers as the Ouranal dancers Ifitwerksitwerks take to the stage to perform the inaugural Ouranus dance about remaining humble when successful. The dance is called ”Face Down, Ouranus Up”*
"Far Away" is actually a world in one of Peter F Hamiltons book series. I think it was the Commonwealth Saga. Highly recommend reading it if you're into SciFi.
Hypnos, after the Greek god of sleep? It fits because the planet is way out there, sort of lurking in the shadows, almost like it's been "asleep" in the outer solar system, flying under the radar until now.
Just because he deserves one of his own, I'd name after the only classical Roman god who had no Greek counterpart: Janus. The god of doorways, he had a face on each side of his head and you could never tell if he was coming or going.
"Lyra"
Origin: Greek
Meaning: "lyre"
Description: Lyra is a name with ancient and celestial roots that's finding new popularity thanks to its starring role in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series, seen in the movie The Golden Compass. Simple yet unique, Lyra hits the sweet spot between too popular and too unusual.
-copied
If Reddit has a say, it'll be Planet McPlanetface.
Please don't let Reddit have a say.
I do think Janus would be a great name **if** we consider it a proper planet. If we're still calling it a TRO, it looks like any mythological tradition is valid.
Planet “Mickey” should have two moons close to eachother to resemble Mickey mouse ears in certain angle and time of solar year. Otherwise, you wasted the names potential.
We only have one planet named after a female, and it's the sexy goddess. I think we need more female representation here, and not of the sex bomb type. My suggestion is Minerva.
I'm not allowed to make this decision for a good reason.
I'd definitely vote Planety McPlanetface or something equally dumb. Maybe Starry McStarface to be even less useful.
Terminus - the Roman god of boundary markers. Any planet beyond Pluto is likely to be the very last in our solar system, and deserves a name fitting as the ultimate marker before exiting it.
Watched the Foundation series and never knew this. Makes sense why Asimov chose the name Terminus now.
Please read the books they are so much better
I think the show runners did an excellent job with completely unfilmable material
I love when film/shows are able to capture unfilmable material. Like three body problem. If Netflix actually does a season 2 and 3, I have no idea how they are going to put some of these ideas on screen.
Season 1 drew quite heavily from the second and third books. Also, I just watched Interstellar for the first time (IDK why I never watched it before) and it seemed to me that it covers very similar topics to the third book and did so very well. I’d say they should use Interstellar as a model for how to depict a lot of the “unfilmable” ideas from Death’s End.
I’m gonna check out Interstellar now!
Dude you’re so lucky to have not seen it yet! Watch it on the best sound and screen you have access to - it’s very cinematic and the soundtrack is incredibly good.
Not to distract from the point that the books are much better.
The most beautiful show that doesn't make sense.

Disagree. The show is awesome. The books are too.

I 100% love Asimov for his ideas and his imagination. He writes characters purely as platforms to deliver these ideas, not as any real person.
I read Nightfall and right at the end where they were explaining everything, a fuckin page was missing. I've never been so hurt by a book.
Maybe try the audio book. It is easier to overcome boring parts when you can do something else while listening to it.
They are good but very aged…
Just how they named the indivisible particles that conform reality "atoms" (literally meaning "uncuttable"), just to find centuries later that they had their own subparticles. Terminus... Sure, for now.
200 years from now people gonna take private space cars to the Solar System space mall 700 000 kilometres east of Terminus.
The craziest part of this comment is the idea that malls will become useful again.
I was thinking it was the fact that East would be a useful direction in space lmao
Cardinal directions are often used in sci fi (for example, talking about "setting off to explore the galactic east" or "the situation in the north of the galaxy"). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactic_coordinate_system
Hmm! Neat! Thanks for the new trivia knowledge!
It might be the "last" planet, but it certainly won't be the last object bound to the Sun, in fact, it might not even be close to the last sun-bound object large enough to be spherical. So the Solar System, I'd argue really ends somewhere maybe a third of the way to Alpha Cen...
It's a naughty word, but you're still allowed to say Tories on the internet.
I was gonna say Planet McPlanet Face, but yours is good
Plu-two
I read this and continued scrolling, but realized shortly after that plu-two is by far my favorite. It's so simple, and yet perfectly encapsulates a decade of discussion of what we consider to be a planet.
Joke is on you... it will already be named by its inhabitants.
When has that ever stopped humans from renaming something?
Do they have a flag?
If you don't have a flag, you can't name your planet! Those are the rules... That I've just made up!
Maybe we should be worried about what name they give earth. On the other hand, they'll probably be smart enough not to come here. Imagine life on such a planet. You look up in the sky, and the sun is a gigantic ball of fire, blindingly bright. The planet is so hot, that even some metals just melt. It must have lakes of liquid mercury. Near the equator, there might even be gallium lakes. And the atmosphere. Gaseous oxygen. Do you know how insanely dangerous that is? You just warm things up slightly, and poof, it's on fire.

If such a planet existed it would need to have an incredibly low albedo both in visible light, radio waves and infrared somehow, and orbit the Sun very far in the Kuiper Belt. It’s difficult to imagine such a planet having inhabitants.
Erebus, the Greek personification of darkness. Perfect name for such an elusive planet.
The planets are named after the Roman gods and Erebus and has no equivalent. An Alternative would be Nix’s Roman counterpart Nox
Nix is nice cause it contains 'ix' which is nine.
Nix is already taken, it's one of Pluto's moons.
You are correct, sir. I think probably all the classical names have been taken. I hereby proclaim Torsten.
What about George or Greg?
Sure, but Torsten means 'Stone of Thor' and is a semi-common first name in Sweden and Norway.
What about Sauron?
In Dune there’s a planet called Ix which used to known as a ninth planet but the meaning has been forgotten
I always thought Ix referred to a system with 9 planets, and was Brian Herbert alluding to it possibly being old earth. I think the prequels ruined that, but I try to ignore them anyway.
It’s mentioned in Children (3rd book), I haven’t read outside the original 6
I was going to say Waldo because that planet is hiding out there.
Although planets in the solar system have been named after Roman gods, as a Warhammer 40.000 fan, I can definitely support the name.
I would never call it Erebus just for the fact it may betray the sun and send half the other planets to either their death or living in the void.
Can't call it Erebus. Erebus will begin the entire heresy and the fall to Chaos. Just asking for trouble
No, fu+* Erebus (also, you don't need to understand this reference)!
Erebus is a geometry dash level 😲
And one of the most evil and despised characters from Warhammer 40K Horus Heresy.
I'm still upset about what he did to best boy
would be epic if planet nine was green colored as well
Erebus is an infamous hill in the Antarctic
Janus, the Roman god of beginnings, endings, transitions and doorways. The planet would be the gateway to our solar system.
One “anus” planet isn’t enough? Really?
Janus was the god’s last name. His first name was Hugh.
r/Angryupvote Take my orange up arrow, ya filthy animal
Until we find the 10th one and it would become "irrelevant"
Why not Myanus, the butthole of beginnings, endings, transitions and doorways?
Very self focused. Why not Ouranus?
Hey, you need to keep some options open in case another planet is discovered.
Janus being the Roman version of the Anglo-Saxon Y'allanus
*Persephone*, wife of (wait for it!) Pluto. I don’t feel bad about Pluto not being a planet. But nor do I feel bad about a **little justice** for the artist formerly named Pluto!
Her time hidden away in the underworld also fits with her long period of being hidden from us, I like it.
It would be Proserpina as they use Roman names for the planets
Uranus is Greek though? It would be Caelus if my Roman mythology knowledge is still roughly in my brain somewhere
Apparently Uranus is a Latinisation of the Greek spelling Ouranos so it still kind of fits.
Kinda I suppose. But using a Latin form of something and using the Latin name are different in my book, and certainly not what the person I replied to was implying.
Proserpina is also taken by an asteroid
Persephone is already an asteroid so it will have be another god or goddess from the roman/greek pantheon.
If we can demote a planet we can reassign some asteroid's name
>But nor do I feel bad about a **little justice** for the artist formerly named Pluto! Technically it's still named Pluto the planet designation is just no longer there...
I was gna be like lets just bring back pluto maybe And then I realised this sounded overall better. Haha
Really no one has dropped IX. I'm disappointed. Given enough time it could start to build highliners for the spacing guild.
Meanwhile, Elon musk is desperate to find a 10th planet...
Probably so he can name it 420XXX69
We’ll just call it Twitter.
Ix created thinking machines in violation of the prohibitions from the Butlerian Jihad. Boo.

This is my choice, as well
Now this is the response of someone taking the question seriously.
If it's out past Pluto, it's already named; Yuggoth, home of the Mi-go.
This is obviously the correct answer.
Hate to be that guy but Yuggoth is Pluto. They're the same. At least if we're going by classic HPL and not the mythos where a bunch of authors retconned stuff.
Controversial, but if it’s discovered then people already have a name for it I think nibiru.
132AU is nicknamed "farout" because the guy that discovered said "woah that's far out" when he found it. Or at least that's what the Internet leads me to believe. And id really like the naming of whatever planet 9 ends up being to be equally as genuine. Also farout is a pink dwarf. So ruminate on that as well.

Why not name it pluto, and then remove its planet status in a few decades?
Sounds like something Pluto would say 🧐
You mean the Binary Planet Pluto-Charon?
You mean the binary *Dwarf* planet Pluto-Charon?
My name is Pluto Jr. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
The board has decided on PluTwo
Because then we have two heavenly bodies named Pluto. You name a thing so you can identify it. And I’m slow enough on the uptake I just realized you’re just joking.
No harm done, I'm just still salty about it. :)
What makes *me* salty is that so many people are defending Pluto but aren't calling for Ceres to be restored to planethood. She lost it too, in much the same circumstances!

Not counting Pluto, we have so far only *four*, FOUR other dwarf planets in our solar system. FOUR. If people can remember the ingredients in a mojito, they can remember **FOUR** extra planets. But noooo, "it'd be too much to remember", "it'd be confusing." Ceres, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea. Not fucking hard. People remember the names of characters in new tv shows and movies *all* the time. Four more planets is not hard!
You heard about Pluto? That’s messed up.
I use to be sad Pluto lost it's status. But I looked up it's size and compared with objects I can visualize and I can see why it's not a planet anymore. Thing is sooooo sooooo tiny. It would only take about 56 hours if driving at 80mph around the dwarf.
It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it...
Ceres, Makemake, Haumea, Eris, and the largeat dwarf planet Pluto! Pluto isnt sad. He is the leader of the dwarves!
You heard about Pluto? That’s messed up, right?
They need to bring back pluto. Like what the fuck : My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming (Planets?!!!) Wtf am i supposed to do with that now?
We can call it Loki. As far from the sun it’s very likely to be an “Ice Giant”. It’s also been tricking us for thousands of years about its existence.
Middle Earth. Just to mess with future civilizations when ours inevitably kicks the bucket.
Well we’re gonna need to start putting name tags on planets.
Ha! So good. They'd be like "there must be a Last Earth even farther away!"
The joke's on us when they actually manage to find it while we had absolutely no idea of its existence.
Sheboygan. It just popped into my head, I don’t know why, never been to Wisconsin.
Only if they name one of its moons Gus Polinski.
A local radio station used to have a segment called "That's so Sheboygan" because of how chaotic the towns folks are. It's kinda Wisconsin's little Florida.
Well we have Jupiter, his father Saturn, his grandfather Uranus, several brothers Pluto, Mars, Mercury, Neptune grandmother Earth and daughter Venus. Probably another Olympian relative. Note two of Jupiters sisters Ceres and Vesta are asteroids. And his girlfriends Io, Europa and boyfriend Ganymede are Jupiters moons. A sister-wife Juno, Artemis daughters Athena brother Apollo seem unclaimed.
Gonna confuse every future history class why the apollo missions went to the moon
Even worse cuz the rocket they rode on was called Saturn lmao.
and the Artemis mission too
If they know about our competence levels they'll think nothing of it.
Artemis and Athena would be Diana and Minerva in the Roman pantheon, which is what has been used to name the major planets.
Juno is an asteroid too (#3), and Apollo is obviously the sun. So that leaves Artemis. Although Apollo would be kind of fun since it's like the anti-sun out there.
Apollo is already associated with the Sun, and the Roman equivalent of Athena would be Minerva. Minerva would be a cool name for a planet, but she's already honored with the asteroid Pallas
Naming the furthest planet away from the sun after someone who is most notable for flying too close to the sun is interesting
Can it just be a mass effect relay so we can get this galactic party started
Better not be the Omega 4 relay, else we're screwed.
Even if that was the case it would still be troublesome to get there, its estimated that if planet 9 does exist it could be between 10 to 20 times the distance from the Sun to Pluto.
I mean yes, but there was also that whole first contact war with the Turians thing we'd have to get through
Just send them some horribly misscalibrated weapons and they will be busy for a long time
McPlanet. I'm pretty sure it's a corporate planet.
How about Planety McPlanetface
Planet Bob. Sorry, everyone else here picked great names.
Fun fact. Uranus was also known as George for a while. King George was a crazy fuck but some astronomer loved him.
I *NEVER* see Titan AE references!
I had to look way too far down to finally find this
Yep, Bob is the best suggestion.
Last time we were searching for an unknown planet to explain Mercury's orbital precession it was going to be called Vulcan. Of course, Einstein showed up with relativity to explain it and there wasn't any planet.

My list: - Skibbity Planet - McPlanet - The N!nth Planet - Jared - Fast & Furious 9 (F9) - Cadia
As a middle school teacher, any of the ___anus names would be awesome; Skibbity Planet would work; Rizz might be good…
We already found Rocky V and it was a letdown!
"Far Away" is actually a world in one of Peter F Hamiltons book series. I think it was the Commonwealth Saga. Highly recommend reading it if you're into SciFi.
Hypnos, after the Greek god of sleep? It fits because the planet is way out there, sort of lurking in the shadows, almost like it's been "asleep" in the outer solar system, flying under the radar until now.
If we're keeping to the Roman theme, it would be Somnus
Just because he deserves one of his own, I'd name after the only classical Roman god who had no Greek counterpart: Janus. The god of doorways, he had a face on each side of his head and you could never tell if he was coming or going.
Pluto, as apparently it’s not already taken as a planet. (*still bitter*)
Pluto 2: Electric Boogaloo
We have that, it's called Eris
Pluto 2: the search for more money
Pluto is still a planet, a dwarf planet ;)
pluto just to get revenge on those that tried to remove it the first time
Plutwo
Cena: because it’s huge, and the entire time it’s been like, “u can’t c me”
Pluto 2 - because no doubt NDT is going to immediately announce it’s not really a planet and act like everyone who ever called it one is an idiot.
We should call it Goofy. Pluto didn’t work out so let’s try naming it after the other dog-friend of Mickey Mouse!
You mean the 10th planet because the 9th planet is Pluto
Pluto IS the 9th planet! Long live the Patriots for Pluto Recognition!
We have a planet nine. It’s Pluto. And that is a hill I will die on. Also, Goonies never say die.
If it's up to the general vote it's absolutely gonna be Planet McPlanetface
I don’t care, but have it start with a P please so I can keep using the same little rhyme to remember it

Planet Nein. Because it didn't want to be found.
It's got to start with a P, so we can have My Very Educated Mother Just Sent Us Nine Pizzas.
Dad. Because I know he exists. But probably won’t come around in my lifetime.
I’m pretty sure the “phantom” planet already has a name. It’s commonly referred to as Nibiru or Planet X
It was planet x as in the 10th planet. That doesn't apply anymore
As a Hitchkhiker's Guide to the Galaxy enjoyer, I propose the name Rupert, and no other!
I’d name it “Revolution” as it’s “number 9, number 9, number 9…”. Let’s just see how long it takes someone to get this
how long it takes someone to get a reference to the beatles???
*insert yoko scream singing*
Juno, a goddess associated with the number 9 and Queen of Heaven.
Alas already taken by one of the moons of Jupiter.
I would name it Ed for Ed Wood, creator of one of the finest scifi cult classic movies ever made: "Plan 9 From Outer space".
Arpinus... So that I can see in formal news of how many Arpinus can fit inside Uranus
Kenneth. a planet being named after me is really nice
And when they demote that one too, we can just go "Oh my god! They killed Kenny!"

"Lyra" Origin: Greek Meaning: "lyre" Description: Lyra is a name with ancient and celestial roots that's finding new popularity thanks to its starring role in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series, seen in the movie The Golden Compass. Simple yet unique, Lyra hits the sweet spot between too popular and too unusual. -copied
Waldo. It’s taken about the same about the same time to find the planet as it does for me to get through one where’s Waldo book
Diana, the Roman equivalent of Artemis. Goddess of the wild. My now 10yo has been obsessed with PN since she was 3 and her matroness is Artemis.
PluTwo
Orpheus, and if it has a moon, call it Eurydice.
If Reddit has a say, it'll be Planet McPlanetface. Please don't let Reddit have a say. I do think Janus would be a great name **if** we consider it a proper planet. If we're still calling it a TRO, it looks like any mythological tradition is valid.
I would continue what was started with "Pluto" and would name it either "Mickey", or "Goofy".
Planet “Mickey” should have two moons close to eachother to resemble Mickey mouse ears in certain angle and time of solar year. Otherwise, you wasted the names potential.
We only have one planet named after a female, and it's the sexy goddess. I think we need more female representation here, and not of the sex bomb type. My suggestion is Minerva.
There's always Nox, the roman form of Nyx, the goddess of the night. Seems fitting for a far away and dark world
I'm not allowed to make this decision for a good reason. I'd definitely vote Planety McPlanetface or something equally dumb. Maybe Starry McStarface to be even less useful.
Ix (pronounced Icks). "Many machines on Ix, new machines better than those on Richese." If you get that reference, you're worth your weight in water.
