Re: What is the Name our Moon?
According to all scientific information, and the cosmic foks, the name of the official name of the moon is LUNA. It was named by the Romans and that is the world wide official name for her. We just call her the moon.

Re: What is the Name our Moon?
Also, why the disparity between our planet name and our race name? If we are Humans then should our planet be named Huma? If our planet is named Earth then should our race be named Earthlings(that sounds funny for some reason)...or Earthans?
Also, I hate when a question asks for my race. I'm considering next time putting
"Human". Asking nationality doesn't work either because one can be an American(nationality) from India or Britian or China, etcetera. Maybe "ancestoral nationality"?
Also, all these names vary in all the languages of...the people of...our planet.
Also(yes, another), the terms of: White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, African etcetera are not nationalities. Some are continents or regions. Perhaps questions should ask our ancestoral continent or region? Or maybe we should not even be asked.
I am considered "White" but I like being considered "European American" or just "American". My family has been born in America for many generations; maybe most of my family line since the birth of America.

Re: What is the Name our Moon?
Technically, I'm American...though I'm also Canadian.
After all, I live in North America, therefore I'm American, as are those of you from the US, Mexicans, Guatamalans, etc 
The Moon's name is...The Moon, in the English language. As that's the word that the vast majority uses, it could be argued that The Moon is the proper name by virtue of popular usage.

Re: What is the Name our Moon?
No. Nationality is the nation of wich you are a citizen. You are Canadian. My nation is the United States of America. I'm an American. We and they are on the continent of North America. The region below USA is called Central America, though it's still part of the North American continent.

Re: What is the Name our Moon?
By that reasoning, a Chinese man is not Asian, and a Swiss woman is not European.
Also, human is an invalid response to "race?" It is a species, not a race/breed/variety...

Re: What is the Name our Moon?
OK then Fyron, next time a form asks me to fill in "race" I will put in "100 metre hurdles."

Re: What is the Name our Moon?
Actually I say we start a grass roots effort to have the moons name officially changed from LUNA to Fyconia.

Re: What is the Name our Moon?
