Re: Proposed Charon place names ...

[(Anonymous)]

I guess my counterargument would be that I don't think the first one follows from the second. I think it's true what you say about the difference, but I don't see that as in itself a reason to take names from popular culture.

I think some of it does. I think a lot of fantastical stories (so especially sci-fi and superhero stuff) is basically telling the stories of "demigods" under another guise.

But even if it wasn't...then the question would be, what does one name the regions?

I mean you could go for writers, or scientists etc...but they could be pretty irrelevant 100 years from now, too.

But I think - and I'm sure this is somehow deeply problematic but fuck it I don't give a shit - but I think there's something on a basic level more meaningful appropriate about naming it after people we think are worthy of commemoration, rather than after pop cultural characters. There's just, to me, a fundamental separation there. Whether or not they're irrelevant 100 years from now, I think that is a better marker for whatever values one wants to project, and more meaningful in the present moment.

Fair enough! While I think the fandom names are cool, I can totally understand the argument for not doing it. IIRC it hasn't been officially approved anyway.

The naming schemes for Pluto are:

1. Historic space missions and space craft
2. Scientists and engineers
3. Explorers
4. Underworld beings
5. Underworld places
6. Underworld travelers.
