The Moon should be given a proper name; leaving it as β€œThe Moon” is stupid and nonsensical.

Edit: And here we see a bunch of folk insisting that the name of the Moon is Luna, but that’s just the translation of the word moon, not a proper noun like Venus or Jupiter.

Edit: I just want to say thank you to everyone for the spirited discussion, I’ve received a lot of great feedback and enjoy listening to everyone’s opinions and thoughts.

This seems to come up here and there in some space and planet specific subreddits. It’s usually posed as a question like β€œWhat if we named the Moon?”, or β€œWe should give the Moon a real name.”

Then you have a bunch of smart asses chime in β€œOh, didn’t you learn this in 1st grade?? That IS its name! It’s literally called The Moon. What are you, some sort of dense mouth breather? First time on Reddit, pleb? Go back to studying the astrological signs, hahaha!” Ehh, you get the gist. This idea is not taken kindly by the astronomical community (or Reddit for that matter).

Well that’s dumb as hell and it’s way past time we gave the Moon a proper name. Imagine the first planet the ancient Greeks discovered in the sky was simply named β€œThe Planet”, and every planet discovered afterwards was given a name based off their gods, features, or whatever. Then a few hundred years later someone says, β€œYeah… you know that planet called the Planet, doesn’t that seem just a little bit… silly? Shouldn’t we assign a… proper name to it?” But oh no we can’t change The Planet’s name because that’s what it’s name is!”

That sounds completely stupid, yet we as humankind have accepted this excuse for the Moon, when there are literally THOUSANDS of moons in space? Why is it so hard for the astronomical society to realize and accept this? Can you imagine the first mountain discovered just called The Mountain? The first ocean charted to be called The Ocean? The first dinosaur fossil unearthed called The Dino? No!! But the Moon is the Moon. WTF!!! That’s dumb and no longer makes sense now that we’ve discovered it is not the only moon.

[Spoilers Extended] Which names should Arya have given Jaqen H'ghar to allow Rob Stark the best chances at victory in the war?

Arya's pick of names were bad in terms of giving house Stark the best chances at victory. She chose people of zero significance to the war as a whole. They were bad evil men but most soldiers commit evil acts in war.

She had 3 sure deaths. Tywin seems an obvious choice but in my opinion a bad one. The Lannisters would still have Tyrion. They would havea competent commander in Levan Lannister. I dont think killing Tywin woukd have made a huge difference.

Stannis wanted to kill Rob and he was dangerous. Renly was also Rob's enemy. He had declared himself a king and had taken half of the kingdom. They both saw him as an enemy who would not bend the knee.

I think the best choices were Joffrey, Tommen and Myrcella. Kill all 3 and the Lannisters totally lose their purpose in the war. Killing Joffrey is not enough. As Tommens claim still exists for the lanjistwrs to back. Same with myrcella. The labnisters woul just ignore the succession law of the male uncle coming before the female daughter.

Kill all 3 and the lannisters have nothing. Taking them out of the war. They were Robs main enemies.

Twins accidentally given opposite names

I found this out a few months ago, and I just learned about this thread and thought y’all might enjoy this story :)

I’m (19f) a twin, and my sister and I have very similar first names (as many twins do). For our middle names, our parents named both of us after our grandmothers. My middle name is Luz after my maternal grandmother, it’s a fairly common name in the Hispanic community, meaning β€œLight” in English. My sister’s middle name is Darcel after our paternal grandmother. She passed before we were born and we were never told if there was any significance to the name, and I never met another Darcel before, so a few months ago I decided to do some research on the name. The first thing that comes up is that it has Irish/Gaelic roots and means β€œDark”. Meaning that my twin sister and I were coincidentally named Light and Dark! It’s my new favorite fun fact about my family :)

How do believers explain everyone in the temple receiving the same name on a given day?

Remove this if it breaks any rules, but I think it should be good. This isn’t intended to be a β€œGotcha” question. I’m genuinely curious. I don’t intend to lead anyone away from faithfulness. I think everything I talk about here should be common knowledge to everyone who’s worked in the temple. Correct me if any of thid

I haven’t been a part of the church in over a year due to personal experiences, but over the past few months I’ve become increasingly interested in diving deeper into the church and its history and stuff.

Everyone who goes through the temple receives a name, which is supposed to be the name of their spirit or something which they went by in the premortal life and will go by for eternity as well. But everyone who gets endowed on a given day receives one the same two names, depending on their gender, unless it matches their β€œmortal” name, in which case they usually get Adam or Eve.

My question is this: How do believers justify this? If everyone who gets endowed today has a spirit named Joel or Esther, wouldn’t that eliminate the possibility of agency or free will? Genuinely curious to hear your thoughts on this.
