What shall we call this 10th planet that has been discovered? Whatever the name, it must go with My Very Educated Mother Just Sold Us Nine Pizzas sentence that helps school children recall the order of the planets from the sun.
Here are a few suggestions.
Following the Greek and Roman Mythology tradition the other planets and moons have, except for Uranus moons named after Alexander Pope and William Shakespeare story characters.
1. Leander, lover of Hero who drowned in the sea during a storm when Hero's light could not be seen.
2. Cassandra who received the gift of phophecy from Apollo, but when rejected his love he cursed her phophecies so no one would believe her when the Trojan Horse entered the city of Troy.
3. Penelope who married Ulysses and waited 20 years for his return. Not believing he was lost at sea she wove a cloth during the day and unraveled it a night so she would not complete it.
4. Persephone who was kidnapped by Hades (Pluto) and became goddess of the underworld half the year and returned to her mother Demeter the other half.
5. Aeneas who was the son of Venus was saved from the fall of Troy and sailed to Rome becoming Virgil.
6. Aelous, Greek god of winds.
7. Vesta, Roman goddess of the hearth.
8. Diana, Roman goddess of the hun.
9. Athena, Greek goddess of wisdom.
10. Irene, Greek goddess of peace.
Can't think up anymore good names. Feel free to share yours. Post later.
