All of the other Planets in our Solar System have cool names. Mars, (my favorite) Venus, Jupiter, Uranus (my other favorite, for very different reasons), all named after Greek and or roman Gods. Powerful names, names with meaning. Names with Personality... yet ours is named, Earth. As in "shovel-full". They (the other Planets) are mostly lifeless balls of dirt, and ours, where all of the LIFE is at, is named: Big Ball of Dirt.
Where did this name come from? WHO got to name our home planet? Couldn't the name be changed by simple consensus? If we ALL decided to call it something else, that would pretty much do it, right?
In Portugese and Italian, the word is Terra. Which is noticably feminine. French it's La Terre, which is Terre with a feminine spin. Mother-Earth and all that, we pretty much agree the earth is female, don't we?
How about a Feminine Spin on the word "Earth" and call it Eartha?
WHO'S WITH ME?!?!!
