Comment on We should name the moon. Most people don't call their pets "dog" or "cat".

We did name it.
We named it “the moon.” Or Luna.
Before that, it was a nameless rock.

I like Luna

I feel like there could be Italians having the same conversation in reverse saying “Mi piace Moon”. To most Latin languages Luna is as boring and generic as Moon.
It should be a name that the whole world could use instead of the basic word they use for a natural satellite because that was just the name for the Moon in their language.

Yeah well most Latin language speakers need to chill, so they can handle a little generic moonverbiage

That would be fine if it were an official designated name and used by everyone versus Sci-fi writers or poets.

I didn’t know I was a writer, muchas gracias OP
Moon is for unbased germanic languages like yours, no offense. Bar bar bar.
It’s luna in latin, selene in Greek and I think Arabs call it qmar.

English as a whole feels inadequate

Sparkle light with yellow icing just a mirror for the sun. These smiling eyes are just a mirror for the sun.
