Major quality posts to M. Necrosis! All say, aye. heh.

edit: slow as usual, I didn't catch the bigger joke. "Klingons" I thought that applied to cats, actually.

Uhh guys, I think they actually do have to come from either Greek or Roman mythology and as disgusting as it sounds (since everyone mispronounces it), even Uranus, comes from greek mythology. He was their god of the sky. Anyway if it wasn't already taken by an asteroid I would go with Proserpina, which was Pluto's wife. Since Brown did want a feminine name, and was looking for something bigger than Pluto.

To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

How about Diana, Roman goddess of the Hunt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_(goddess)

genuinegirly

I'm with you on Diana. We need another woman planet =)

as a side note:
I'm so glad that Charon is now a real planet!!
I chose to do a report on Charon in the fifth grade and I didn't get much credit for it because my teacher didn't believe that it really existed...

Peresphone is a relatively common name for the planet beyond Pluto in the sci fi world. In Greek mythology, Persephone is the wife of Pluto.

I agree with you there, more planets should have ladies' names besides Venus, and Earth (Gaia or Tellus). If only the ancients had telescopes to see what Saturn looked like, maybe they wouldn't have given that world a masculine name! With the new rules to constitute what makes a planet, and Asteroid Ceres now counting as a Planet, that makes the brings the female plaent count up to 3, giving the new one a ladies' name would mean 4. (though I do admit I don't agree with the new IAU ruling on Ceres being a planet)
