    It’s just a dumb name in whatever origin you prefer.

    I could possibly accept Luna if it were it’s official designation and everybody used it in every context.

      If it helps, it’s the official designation and there are some hundreds of millions of dudes that use it in every context

          This is getting out of hand, but the official designation is… you know… the official designation. And for the number, you only have to add up spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, rumanian and Russian speakers… there are other countries, but you get the idea

          Edit: I’m a little bored as you can see. According to wikipedia, with data from 2023 and counting only native speakers, +1014 millions

          Edit 2: I don’t get the problem here, maybe it’s just an English problem? Luna in spanish it’s not a thing, it’s just the name of a satellite. I wouldn’t say that jupiter has N lunas, cause those would be just satellites.

            In French and Italian it’s the same as in English, I would say que Jupiter a 95 lunes, a moon is the colloquial word for a natural satellite. Luna isn’t some pretty personal name, it’s exactly equivalent to “moon” but I’m a different language, but it sounds exotic and like a personal name to English speakers.
