This is an interesting exercise. The temptation to name it after yourself or some sort of "inside joke" would be strong. If I avoided the temptation I'd probably name it after something I like in literature or politics. Like:
-Asimov
-Ender
-Algernon
-Elphaba
-Locke
-Jefferson
-Liberty
Etc.
My dad would want me to name it Bob. I probably would.

It'll have to be called "The Quatermass Particle" subject to Nigel Kneale's approval. That ought to put the fear of God into everyone!

Re: What will you name it?
I didn't read all the other suggestions, so apologies if this is a dupe name, but I think I'll go with Stardust-Prime if it's the first one found... either that or Onomatopoeia... I always liked that word...
And if I find a baker's dozen, the two above and:
Star-Spit
Zoom-Up-Zoom-Down-Zoom-Up-Zoom-Down
A-Blast-Of-Wind-From-Howard-Stern's-A**
The-Stardust-Formerly-Known-As-Prince
Stardustcalifragilisticexpialidocious
Spock's-Speck
Michael-Jackson's-Nose
..... okay, not a baker's dozen, but I want to get back to the java-scope.
And yes, I am COMPLETELY SERIOUS about these.

Naming rules/limitations
If I am overlooking this subject in another area, please point me to it, but I've searched, and I don't see any rules on what we CAN name a find, or limitations on what we CAN'T name them.
SOME limits would seem self-evident (profanity, copyrighted names, etc). But a clear delineation from the "officials" here seems appropriate.

Re: Naming rules/limitations
Technically, you can't copyright a name. You can only trademark it.leshalfhill wrote:SOME limits would seem self-evident (profanity, copyrighted names, etc). But a clear delineation from the "officials" here seems appropriate.
