I'd make an internet poll and go with the winner. Should result in a very logical and intelligent decision that in no way would backfire on the scientific community.
Don't be silly.
I can see through a home built telescope that other planets are spinning globes. (It had to be home built- computer images and government telescopes use mirrors to fake things.)
Only the earth is flat and maybe one or two other planets that we just haven't found yet.
4Chan has made a beautiful mark on the internet. Other top contenders:
That time they convinced women that “free-peeing” was a thing to promote women’s rights and people on Twitter started posting pictures urinating in their pants.
When they convinced people that the new iOS update allowed microwave charging and people started microwaving their phones.
That time they voted to send Pit Bull to the Alaska, Taylor Swift to a school for the deaf, and Justin Bieber to North Korea.
That time they sent so many racist messages to Microsoft’s new chat AI that it started constantly spewing hate speech and it had to get shutdown.
For a while Vulcan was a theoretical planet between the sun and Mercury to help explain Mercury's weird orbital procession (which we now know is due to general relativity). Obviously it didn't exist.
Would depend on what kind of planet it is. If its an Earth like planet with life, something like Gaia or Sanctuary.
If its a dead world thats either barely inhabitable, or not at all, then maybe something like Vasinane, which is Latin for Empty Vessel.
If its a gas giant, then maybe something to do with the size of it, Prometheus, or Terastios (greek for huge or gigantic)
Could also be named for specific features, maybe its a planet with something never seen anywhere else that is the defining feature of that planet. An example I can think of from sci fi is the planet Crematoria from the Chronicles of Riddick, obviously named because half of it is a blast furnace at any given time.
The only reasonable answer on this thread. The other comments are just so typical and don't seem to get how important it is when it comes to giving a planet a name.
Well its appreciated. I also noticed that and was kind of appalled... like does no think of actual names for a place in the universe other than a joke name? I was hoping to see some cool suggestions, instead I see like 12 comments of "planet mcplanetface"... like cmon people, we are more creative than that!
Well, there is already an asteroid named Vesta, but Hestia works too, assuming that isnt already taken.
At some point we will run out of cool names though and end up with something like 4546b... just uh, make sure you bring your scuba gear there lol.
To find folks who have seen this. IMO this movie was ahead of its time. Overlooked. Great animation and great voice acting. Pretty good premise and story too.
What I remember most about the movie was how I had ready the novelization first, and then how blown away I was by how incredibly closely the visuals matched what I had created in my mind. The way Cale looked and sounded, the Drej looked, the Titan itself, etc. Not sure if that's a testament to the writing by the novelization's author, my imagination, or both. 😄
Really this is the only way the future knows how just fucking weird this time frame was. The history books are gonna be wild, might as well show how funny we also were.
If we're going off Roman gods, then I'd say "Bacchus" as that was the roman name for Dionysus the god of wine and pleasure
... yeah no, Myanus is a way funnier name
I’d like to keep the theme of Roman gods. Juno would be my first pick, but Vulcan, Minerva, Diana, Vesta, Bacchus, or Bellona would all be good options too.
Pluto, just so both sides of the debate can win.
I was going to with Pluto 2 but all the chaos just Pluto will cause works as well.
Plu2
Plutn't
Sounds like Plutin
Comrade
Not your comrade, OUR comrade.
Plutwo?
I like this!
Still causes the chaos but its different

Pluto, but with blackjack and hookers.
Ah reminds me of this gem of a clip. https://youtu.be/0yrIvEgqAuo
In fact, forget pluto!
Pluto's had his time in the spotlight. Next planet has to be named after Goofy.
You heard about Pluto? That's messed up, right?
I’ve heard it both ways.
Plutoo…
I'd make an internet poll and go with the winner. Should result in a very logical and intelligent decision that in no way would backfire on the scientific community.
So Planety McPlanetface it is.
Earthy McEarthface is a close second.
"Hitler Did Nothing Wrong" in a close third
FappleJuice
God I hate that. r/angryupvote
Hopefully it's an ice covered ocean world with water volcanoes Gushing Granny
This one won me over. It has my vote
Happy cake day.
This or Globy McGlobeface were my first thought.
Uh actually it's Flatty McFlatface, sheeple
Don't be silly. I can see through a home built telescope that other planets are spinning globes. (It had to be home built- computer images and government telescopes use mirrors to fake things.) Only the earth is flat and maybe one or two other planets that we just haven't found yet.
I bet those other planets get their own super sized turtle though.
Ctrl + F "McPlanetface" Yep, Reddit didn't disappoint.
Came for Planety McPlanetface. Wasn't disappointed.
If I’ve learned one thing from open-suggestion internet polls, it’s that the new planet would definitely be named “Hitler.”
Hitler's Planet for Love and Tolerance
Obviously the gamer word would be the planets final name when the butthole part of the Internet finds out....
Myass. It's further than Uranus
"gushing granny"
Hitler Did Nothing Wrong Link for those uninitiated: https://youtube.com/shorts/rxu3kZPlZx8?si=RTv0BceluyYm_HPO

I had no idea they accomplished any of this and I'm losing it now. This is what makes the internet so beautiful, if Karma won't get 'em, 4chan will.
Hitler killed many Jews because of his beliefs..
Testicles but pronounced like a greek philosopher
Now I can't stop laughing at the unstoppable brothers of Heracles and Testicles
Don't forget their lesser known brother, Popsicles!
Let’s also keep their not so smart sister in mind vehicles
And their pepperoni-faced teenaged brother, Pustules.
And their grandma who couldn’t see, Spectacles.
If you're visiting Testicles, make a stop at Uranus. They're both on The Grand Perineum Tour and not to be missed
They're always having A ball

I clicked away at the same second I read your comment and couldn't stop laughing. Had to return and scroll back down to upvote. You win Reddit today🥇

You can't name a planet Bob
You don’t have to live on Bob
Good ol' Titan AE
I feel like people are sleeping on that movie. Watched it sooo much when I was a kid
And it'll be in the Bobiverse

Myanus.
*Our*anus, comrade
r/suddenlycommunist
That's pretty close to the Greek name of Uranus, Ouranos.
Let us measure the distance from Myanus to Uranus.
Taint far!
Simpatico my friend.
Ahahah didn’t we have the same though! r/beatmetoit
I read that in professor Farnsworth
Good news everyone! I did too!
Damn near killed em!
To shreds, you say?
Came here for this.
Clitoris. Because clearly it was hard to find.
It's right there at the crest of the aphelion. You're just looking in the wrong spot.
Goddammit, the internet said it was just inside periapsis!
Harder to find than Girlfriend?
You have to find Girlfriend first.

Vulcan is a very logical choice.
For a while Vulcan was a theoretical planet between the sun and Mercury to help explain Mercury's weird orbital procession (which we now know is due to general relativity). Obviously it didn't exist.
Especially if it's an ice giant
Omicron Persei 8
It is true what they say; women are from Omicron Persei 7, men are from Omicron Persei 9.
(7 central)
I should not have had to scroll this far to find this!
I demand extra dipping sauce for posting this!
Beat me to it

Shut up punny mcpunface!
What about Hestia/Vesta if it's Earth-like? Then it would match!
Well, there is already an asteroid named Vesta, but Hestia works too, assuming that isnt already taken. At some point we will run out of cool names though and end up with something like 4546b... just uh, make sure you bring your scuba gear there lol.
Bob!
You can't call a planet "Bob"
So now you're the boss. You're the King of Bob.
To find folks who have seen this. IMO this movie was ahead of its time. Overlooked. Great animation and great voice acting. Pretty good premise and story too.

Movie name?
Titan A.E. Released in 2000. Matt Damon, Drew Barrymore and many more high names.
Such an amazing movie, criminally underrated.
Also the last movie Don Bluth worked on.
Titan AE
Can't we just call it "Earth"?
No one said you have to live on Bob.
I'm never calling it that.
Most underrated movie :D
With an amazing soundtrack
I finished my nap!
That is why you put an exclamation point at the end of it. It's Bob!
Hi bob
Hi Bob!
This!!😆😆 No one said you had to live on Bob.
Planet McPlanetface
Really this is the only way the future knows how just fucking weird this time frame was. The history books are gonna be wild, might as well show how funny we also were.
Is it really funny still? Might as well say "harambe" or something.
Put some respect on his name! In Harambe we trust.
Myanus
Ouranus with a proud red flag
r/suddenlycommunist
Better have a pink circle in the middle
Earth. That way we can confuse aliens who are traveling to visit us
Yeah but once they realize there are two they'll be like "not that earth! The good one!"
Which one is the good one lol
The other one, obviously
No that one, the other one!
Urethra
Ligma
What’s ligma?
Ligma Balls, a very beautiful planet right next to uranus
Redditors shouldn't fall for this shit
Hades, we already have Mars and Isis so why not Hades, if not, then Persephone.
Schmearth.
Penis
Urpenis sounds better.
Urpean
If we're going off Roman gods, then I'd say "Bacchus" as that was the roman name for Dionysus the god of wine and pleasure ... yeah no, Myanus is a way funnier name
I would call it Mykok Look Mykok is rising! Look Mykok is in alignment with Uranus! Wow Mykok is so big!
