Earth and its moon

Oh cool, we're going to have this argument again?
Okay.

I see no reason not to call it Luna. It's pretty.
Also, the sun is named Sol right?

>>8585238
That's just the Latin name, what are you retards problem?

>>8585371
And nobody speaks latin. Nobody calls Deimos a "Luna", so our moon, which has traditionally been "The Moon" can get a nice, traditional name. I'm all for Luna, anyway.

The Moon is generic and universal. It's the Moon in English, La Lune in French, лyнá (Luna) in Russian... if we chose a latin word, then it loses a bit of universality.

>no one
>the world speak english is wha thi retard think

>>8585387
It's called Luna on Spanish world most speaked language.
Im from Argentina, the moon is Luna, the Sun is Sol.
Now shut the fuck Up.

Which argument is that, Billy?

And it's called der Mond in German, Alqamar in Arabic, and so on.

It would be pointless to name it according to one culture, it should keep its name so that in every language it sounds unique and not alien to that language.
Same with the sun.

The moon is the moon and the sun is the sun. When we invented those names, we didn't even know there were other such objects at all. So if you want to clear up the nomenclature, I advise you to call other large objects orbiting planets satellites (the proper name) and other glowing gas balls stars (again, obviously the proper name). Everything else is plain retarded.

Moon is the name of the satellite that is orbiting the planet Earth. Most satellites are not man made, we call em moons most of the times.

Something related to "the Moon" is called "Lunar"
Something related to "the Sun" is called "Solar"

Luna sounds nice. Sol also. But I speak spanish so I could be biased.

Anyways.

We should just call it "The Big Cheese" and lay to rest the conspiracy that the moon isn't made of cheese.

Better use names from a dead language. Selena and Helios
