Do you think interstellar colonists in the future are going to

Almost all the stars we know of just have catalogue numbers. The very small number with actual names will probably keep their names

>>1689089
The ones with ancient names like Sirius or Procyon, sure, but what about the new names related to mythologies and civilizations that the colonists couldn't give a fuck about?

Thats all of them

>Recently the IAU has been naming stars and exoplants and I'm curious if the colonists of 47 Ursae Majoris in the 26th century are going to call the star "Chalawan" and the planets "Taphao Thong" and "Taphao Kaew"

Oh yeah mean all ones the give names to at the moment. Nah they will probably come up with their own names when they get there

>>1689111
I doubt those names will stick. Depends on how places end up being colonised

i think soon peoples names are going to be replaced by corporate collective legal entities and you might have a number and then these companies will battle it out in whatever fields of existence

I didn't know that speculation about future space colonists was considers History & Humanities.
