naming things in the night sky, which belongs to everyone

An awful lot of the stars have arabic name origins. Lots of slavery associated there. Greek and Roman mythical stuff as well for much of named astronomical bodies. Still more slavery associations from ancient times. I have no connection to these things so change every named item pretty much in the sky. Of course only if one is being consistent which of course the left never is.

How can we be sure that Cepheus, Hercules and Perseus were not slave owners? Maybe those constellations need to be renamed. And why are there more constellations named for males than for females?

We need to find out who the first human was who noticed the Magellanic Clouds in the sky and name them in her or his honor.
