    OK, someday, outworlders ARE gonna come here - tangibly
    or virtually. Do we REALLY want to tell them the name
    of the planet is a synonym for "dirt" ??? :-)

    May as well skip "water" stuff as well, kinda too
    obvious IMHO.

    The name should kind of say something about US.

    "Furless-Lunatic-Monkey-World" might not impress :-)

    So, come on ... we need a name we can be proud of,
    something a bit 'lyrical', something that will
    impress "Them".

    Your "contest" is strategically wrong. You should first know who you
    want to attract to visit our planet, then prepare our offer (including a suitable names) for those desired visitors.

    Right now if you let ordinary people vote most votes would get names like

    - Trumpeestan

    - Putinia

    - XiMan

    - Modia

    Well there's the rub - we don't KNOW who's out
    there ... so we need a 'generally attractive'
    kind of campaign for starters.

    - Trumpeestan

    - Putinia

    - XiMan

    - Modia



    "Wokeistan" ?
    "Progressivia" ?
