Does our ‘moon’ have a name?

Unlike the moons circling other planets, in our solar system, our moon doesn't enjoy a distinctive name of its own.

It is simply referred to as 'The Moon' or sometimes 'lunar' (derived from the Latin Luna).

The earth and moon are really more of a dual planet system anyway.
