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

    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.

        It’s just a dumb name in whatever origin you prefer.

        I could possibly accept Luna if it were it’s official designation and everybody used it in every context.

  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.
