Why do all the other planets with ‘moons’ have NAMES? Our moon doesn’t have a name - just boring old, ‘Moon.’

I mean they’re ALL considered ‘moons,’ correct? A ‘moon’ is an object in space, like a ‘star’ or a ‘comet.’

We need a pretty name for OUR Moon! :)

"The Moon" is the name. Like "The Bronx". Or "The Robot" on Lost In Space. :)

The proper name of our moon is Luna. It's where we get the word, lunar.
