Right? Such a cool name! I also would not mind if they renamed earth to Terra, though, to keep the trend. But if we keep Uranus, we should make earth Gaia, so Uranus won't be so lonely as the only Greek in the solar system.

I may, may, be anthropomorphizing our planets a bit

I mean since it's 71% covered in water, how about Poseidia?

How does one select the ending of the word, like how would one know to choose Poseidia instead of Poseidus?
