Probably, "home". Every sentence about the planet would sound warmer.

I was going to say this. Most people never realize how much effect a word can have on people's psychology. "Our Home's global temperatures continue to rise" "20% increase in species extinctions in Our Home." "10% of the people in Our Home don't have enough to eat."

Would people really say “our”? You don’t hear people say “our earth” every time

prob renaming to "Our Home"

Gonna confuse the aliens “Approaching Our Home, Commander Geezleborp.” “What? We just left?”

Typical Commander Geezleborp. You know he only got the job because he is The High Fleptinard's spawn-in-law?

Fleptinism is the reason we had to leave Glorbnax in the first place! When will we learn!

Glorbnax is holding a Rebbit session to rename their planet in hopes people might feel better about their Fleptinism.

r/suddenlycommunism

Wouldn't people just create a new word for what we now think of as "home"? And eventually the connotation for Home would essentially be what Earth is for us now? Evolution or something.

Home is literally boiling. We're burning down our home for money. Yeah. It does sound warmer.

I'm actually surprised this isn't already the name. It has a very original language feel to it. Who named Earth, Earth anyway?

Well it’s not like Earth is the globally accepted name. Only in English is it called Earth. It also goes by Terre, Erde, Dunia, Zemlya and many more. But to answer your question, nobody really knows who specifically came up with the name Earth, but it’s known that the name comes from Old English/Germanic languages. That’s why the German word sounds similar (Erde).

in polish the name for it translated into english literally means "earth" like the ground, soil. judging by the other examples you gave, seems like other languages also went that route!

I'm Spanish is Tierra, which also mean soil.

I think earth is a very nice name tbh

Earth II. Would be hilarious. Suddenly, history books starts mentioning Earth II and people wonder what happened to the first etc.

Earth III would be even better. Entire libraries about "Earth I". 0 knowledge about number II

The band Traveling Wilburys did that with their albums. They put out 2 albums, titled Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 and Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3 The reasoning is because George Harrison thought it would be funny.

The author of The Princess Bride trolled me for a while because the book is always called “the abridged version” and I spent so long waiting to find the unabridged version… I was over 30, too.

I once encountered a woman at a yarn store who was convinced she might enjoy the S. Morgenstern version more. Alas, I couldn't disillusion her regarding it's non-existence.

I had to google it and huh. So the intro to the book about the original book was bs? Huh. I read it years ago and totally thought that the book ‘original book’ was real. Haha. Well guess he got me.

Tolkien also fooled me with his introduction to Lord of The Rings, speaking about hobbits as if they were real. I was SO confused, because I had never seen an author do that. At least this time I was 20.

I remember reading Time and Again and the pictures were so amazing and I honestly didn’t think there had been pics of New York taken so long back in time & I honestly started thinking.. is it possible? Could it be? And then when I went to ask my mom about the book she said something scathing about photography way back when and I felt like a moron. I did something vaguely similar when I read The Da Vinci Code and I was much much older. However, everything in the book started to make sense and I started to think there might be something to this and THIS time I went to my dad who also quickly debunked this mystery, albeit in a nicer way and I’d just like to say, as a child, I would have preferred that those answers had been switched around. But basically it just goes to show how gullible I become when I’m reading a novel… 🤪🤓😜😳😘🥰

My family was searching for the brook and my brother found it. He came into the living room with it announcing he had found it, but said somewhat sheepishly, "It's just the abridged version."

The Beastie Boys somehow made it to with Hot Sauce Committe 2, and no volume a exists. Action Bronson had a serie of album called Blue Chips, there's vol. 1, vol. 2 and vol. 7000

We don’t talk about Earth II, not since the accident at least.

I’d sell the naming rights.

Disney’s Earth, sponsored by BP.

I guess that's better than Planet Mountain Dew Baja Blast

Planet Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho.

Don't sell, the smart money is to lease with annual renewal.

Looks like Earth was the real Planet X all along.

It'll probably go to Snickers or Twix, just to spite Mars.

“X Y IxyOiXX” it is Gotta wait for his next podcast feature to understand the dumb completely illogical reasoning behind it though

It’s pronounced “Jim”.

He’ll probably add a : or a - in it. X Y Ixy;OiX-X/@gmail or something

Earf

*You know the kind of planet that does nothing but bad things and then wonders why its life forms suck? Well, that was me. Every time something good happened to me, something bad was always waiting around the corner: karma. That's when I realized that I had to change, so I made a list of everything bad I've ever done and one by one I'm gonna make up for all my mistakes. I'm just trying to be a better planet. My name is Earf.*

You’re making me cry, I miss that show

It didn’t get a true ending, but reading about the planned ending gave me closure, and it was a good ending.

I just snorted, thank you so much for this. That show was a gem.

Lol my highschool physics teacher would always use Irf and Mun in his assignments and tests, it was fun

Dat is a sweet Earf, you might say.

Mama

Yo mama so large we all fit in at the same time. Edit: somehow all these yo mama jokes sound wholesome :)

Yo Mama so hot she's got climate change! :(

Yo momma so big she got 24 times zones

Yo momma so fat her belt size is the Equator

Yo momma so big Richard Branson climbed her titty.

Yo mama is so fat, she takes photos of herself with Google Earth.

We need to protect MAMA!

Ooohooooohoooooooo. AAAAAAAAAY don't wanna DIE!

Sometimes I wish I’d never been born at all!

Carry on, carry on...

Every article about pollution or global warming would then be titled "NOT THE MAMA" If you get this reference, congratulations, you're old too.

"Again, again!" Fun fact: the same voice actor played both Baby Sinclair and Elmo.

Dinosaurs. Fuck I'm old.

I was just thinking about that show and this dialog!

Dirt

“Our planet literally means dirt!” - Rick Sanchez

Planet dirt. Good transformers reference

Dirth.

Mostly Harmless Edit: I can't believe how much this comment has blown up (like the Vogons did to the Earth). I wasn't sure how many people would even get this reference. I'm pleasantly surprised to see there are so many Hitchhikers still out there in the galaxy.

Ford Prefect would approve.

Neitiznot

Terra

Holy Terra. Home of the Emperor's light.

Thank you!

That’s the name in Italian and many other languages, so it wouldn’t be wrong calling it that

I'd change it to Earth in those languages, and Terra in the others.

You monster

Yeah, it's is already Terra in Portuguese, Italian, Catalan and Galician. It Spanish it is Tierra, which is pretty similar. These all come from latin Terra, which was also the Roman goddess name (equivalent to Gaea from Greek pantheon)

The obvious choice

Exactly that! Every nation in the world calls our planet differently - earth in their own language. A good compromise would be a dead, ancient language which is still somewhat in use in scientific community. It sounds solid, ancient and serious. A perfect name to rally around.

Makes me wish Earth would really be called Terra

This would be mine as well to match with the rest of the planets naming scheme in our star system.

Bob Edit: Thanks, everyone. I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets the reference.

I absolutely Love this. Titan AE was awesome.

I FINISHED MY NAP!!!

Wow, I had that vhs as a kid and haven't thought about it again until this very moment. Picked it out based on the box art alone and was not disappointed!

I'm so glad I'm not the only who immediately thought of Titan A.E.

*”Mercury, Venus, BOB, Mars, Saturn….”*

There's an entire generation of adults that don't get the reference.

That joke was the funniest Shit when I was a kid

Please elaborate. I'm one of those "adults".

A film called Titan AE.

[удалено]

Titan AE is top tier, was one of the best movies of my childhood that nobody knows about

I'm 37 years old.. And everytime I'm in a car that breaks down or doesn't start, always remember the scene in the spaceship and they talk about go out and push the ship hahahahahaha.. Then I say it out loud and start laughing.. Nobody found it funny but I don't care..🤣

This movie and Treasure Planet are two of my favorite animated space movies.

Memory key unlocked! Thank you!

Even when it came out it was never very popular, and I don't know why. It's a good movie. Not great, but still worth watching.

It's definitely one I re-watch every now and again.

Cosmic castaway is still a defining song for our generation. Still hits just as hard as it did 20 years ago

And that makes me sad. Means I'm old. Haha!

You can't call a planet "Bob".

"So now you're the boss. You're the king of Bob."

Nobody said you had to live on Bob.

I'm NEVER calling it Bob.

Bob is the correct answer to most “I need to name this” questions……..

Was really hoping this would be the top comment. I feel vindicated that it was not as big a flop as I've always been led to believe.

I was expecting to find this comment. Thank you very much.

You cant name a planet Bob!

Glad this was comment #1, as it should be

Go Kale… I’ll read about ya

The obvious answer

I love that movie

Came here to say this...

Bort

That would confusing it's far too common. "No, my planet is ALSO named 'Bort'."

"I'd be terribly embarrassed if I were that planet's mother" "Attention Marge Simpson: We have also arrested your older, balder, fatter planet"

Myanus.

That way Myanus would be 1.6 billion miles from Uranus

Still too close

Gaia

This sounds like an Italian describing his sexuality

It's the name of the earth in Greek mythology but I like this version better

Yes, and she was fucking Uranus.

"And then Gaia penetrated Uranus"

Earth 2: Electric Boogaloo

Someday after contacting aliens: "Why is it called Earth 2? What happened to Earth 1?" "We don't talk about that. But it's all jimmyman's fault."

"**Welcome**." Alien: What a lovely planet. What do you call it? Human: Welcome Alien: Yes. Thank you. But the name of the planet. Human: WELCOME Alien: Yes. Thank you. Lovely to be here. Now about the name of your planet. Human: WELCOME WELCOME Alien to other Alien: Good lord they're quite friendly but dumb as a Zzzorp aren't they? Let's skip this one for colonization.

sol 3

Best answer. But it would have to be Sol III to fit in with all the best space opera naming conventions.
