[humblegunner]

Illogical.

[Free Vulcan]

OK then, you got my attention...

[mnehring]

I would rather save Vulcan for something a little more interesting than a tiny, rocky moon.

[granite]

Fascinating!

[The Cajun]

It's very small and insignificant, perhaps *Goreon*

[bigheadfred]

They should call it Tinkerbell.

[Jack Hydrazine]

I’ve been to Vulcan...Alberta that is!

[dynachrome]

Have at it! Link is in #1

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

Since Tinkerbell isn’t on the list I’m going with obol.

[real saxophonist]

If Pluto is not a Planet, how can she have a Moon?

[Huskrrrr]

[Fiji Hill]

Aren’t the moons of planets in the solar system—besides Earth—usually given Greek names? Instead of Vulcan, call it Hephaestus.

[Gay State Conservative]

“Barak” would be the most fitting for any moon of Uranus.

[x]

It seems like every possible mythological name has been applied to some chunk of rock somewhere in the solar system.

Even moons have named moons. Astronomers even had to leave the Greeks and Romans behind and pillage Norse mythology for names. It's funny they didn't get around to Vulcan.

I'd save "Vulcan" for some place very hot as it comes from the blacksmith to the gods, the god of fire and volcanoes.

Or alternatively -- I'd use it for the undiscovered planet on the other side of the sun that has the exact orbital pattern of earth.

[Tanniker Smith]

Had to go with Persephone, Pluto’s wife. Interestingly, according to the standard convention, I believe that Charon probably should’ve been name Persephone (or some variation), but the discoverer chose the ferryman because he was actually naming it after his own wife (who was Charlene, or something like that, it’s been a while since I read this.)

whoever these supposed sci-fi fans are, they’re idiots

spock’s ‘vulcan’ was a very warm planet and was most likely a high gravity planet, as vulcans are supposed to be much stronger then humans. therefore, vulcan would have to be a large, warm planet... not a tiny frozen rock.
