Voted for Hypnos, because it's also the name of a HP Lovecraft short story and space needs more Cthulhu.

I voted for the two rivers, and since there are five in total you can add the last three for more moons or bad rear end craters/features on anything else in the system of merit.

Why are we wasting all these badass names on lovely little lumps of ice a few K across? We are discovering amazing extra-solar worlds that surely should be getting first dibs on the Greek God names, not some retarded space iceberg orbiting something that's not even big enough to be a planet.

I was honestly going to suggest Sovereign. Until we know there's not a mass effect relay inside pluto we need to do all we can to appease our reaper overlords. Don't name one of the moons Styx unless you're willing to name the other one Kansas or Foreigner. Speaking of which, I bet you could get cartoon network behind a campaign to call them Ignignokt and Er

Persephone is a lovely, lovely name. So I say let's save it for something better than a minuscule lump of frozen crap.

Cerberus and Erebus, because like many of you, I like the rhyming. Also, Styx as a third vote there, because Come Sail Away is about aliens.

I just love that there are actual planets of appropriate size and mass around Epsilon Erandi and Tau Ceti IV where Bungie set Reach from Halo and Marathon respectively. If we honestly don't name those two after that wild rear end call I'll be sad. What I'm saying here is Bungie are apparently space wizards and/or time travelers.

Acheron and Lethe. Acheron because it sounds cool and Lethe because naming something on the edge of the solar system after oblivion seems pretty appropriate to me. Also the whole river thing.

 HEY NERDSIn an effort to remain relevant, Philanthropist, Actor, Producer, Father, Husband, and Grandfather William Shatner wants YOU to vote for Vulcan. It seems James Tiberius Kirk himself has been busy getting Vulcan officially added to the ballot in the vote to name Pluto's new moons. In between his tweeting about reddit, 4chan, and his new movie #EscapefromPlanetEarth, he's been keeping his twitter updated with this exciting news.  He tried for Romulus too, but that's already a goddamned moon. As of now, Vulcan is in a close third, right behind Styx and Cerberus. If these nerds keep it up, it looks like we will have Styx and Vulcan as the two moons. Is that okay with you?  So I ask you, goons, do you fight for Captain Kirk?

Vulcan would be terrible, what's the connection with Pluto, the god of the underworld?(Besides being his brother, but that's also the case for Jupiter, Neptune etc...) Vulcan is the god of smiths, fire and volcanoes.I'm ok with it being its own planet, but not a random moon. Kurtofan fucked around with this message at Feb 14, 2013 around 20:40 |

Kurtofan posted:Vulcan is the god of smiths, fire and volcanoes.I'm ok with it being its own planet, but not a random moon. That's exactly what I thought. I want a proper planet called Vulcan, not a cold moon orbiting a thing that might not even be properly called a planet. (Is Pluto a planet again? I haven't been keeping up.) My nerdy choice was Orpheus and Eurydice in honor of Sandman.

loving Orpheus and Eurydice all the way. Not only the obvious answer if you're going to name two at the same time, it's also one of the best myths. The whole "don't look back at her until you leave the Underworld" thing is great. I would want to look back so much harder if someone told me that.

Styx and Cerberus are such obvious winners since they're both awesome names that fit the theme of the planet best, IMO.

I got to admit that the New Horizons mission is something I've been following since 2006. It's not even that I expect it to discover amazing new things about this huge hunk of dirty ice out there. As a kid in the 80s and 90s I was always fascinated by how weird and different Pluto was and how we didn't have these huge hires beautiful pictures of it like we do for all the other planets. Fast forward to now and we're two and a half years until New Horizons' closest approach and I am starting froth and quiver with trans-neptunium excitement.

They should have refused the "Vulcan" name on the grounds that it didn't fit Pluto's thematic.It was clear it was going to win the moment it was introduced.

Seriously I agree Vulcan should not win. I think we all need to forget about all the other smaller ballot entries that are clearly not going to win (Orpheus,Acheron, etc) and focus on voting for Styx and Cerberus in an effort to save Vulcan for something else. Keep in mind you can put in votes for as many names as you want, so if you still feel the need to vote for your favorite underdog you can, but just know that if you don't vote for Cerberus and Styx then Vulcan is clearly going to win. Vulcan is a cool name but not for a smaller moon on a not-even-planet.

It'd be pretty funny if Vulcan won and immediately thereafter we found a habitable volcano planet to begin colonizing.
