 Name our moon Why is it that our moon is the only moon in the solar system without a proper name? I think it deserves better than just "moon". Any ideas?      |

The moon is definitely a female entity I think "Karen" is a good option, although "Veronica" has potential |

And the Romans called it Luna, but the goddess associated with Luna was more often known as Diana Lucifera |

Hey jezzicaz789, welcome to the forum. You have entered through the back door. Your two posts were made to old threads. Nothing wrong with that, but how about going to the Welcome section, and telling us a bit about yourself. Incedentally, our moon does have a name. It is called Luna.
