Actually, the moon is name Luna, after claude debussys Clair DE Luna, which was famously written in the evening

So, when in Star Trek they went to a place called Rama 3, they meant the 3rd planet of the Rama sun system ? Otherwise , what kind of idiots use the same names for multiple planets ?

Yeah. Have you never heard this before?

If our solar system wasn't ours but just some random system somewhere then Mercury would be Sol I, Venus would be Sol II, Earth would be Sol III, etc.

you could have binary systems where a moon is so large its really just a pair of planets (like pluto/charon)

Earth's moon is so abnormally big we almost classify as this. If the moon had an atomsphere and we lived there too, like a second earth, why not call it Earth 2?

I can't imagine 3 or more objects in a stable orbit go solve the n-body problem see if it works (hint: try using math)

It's already got a name, it's name is "the moon."
You might as well start a campaign to rename the Earth because all that means is "the ground" and all human means is "person."
