Not true, that is the 'poetic' name used mostly in Sci-Fi. Talk about not reading the posts.

=) lol I was being sarcastic, That book is sooo full of.. well, Im not sure what to think.. Firstly, the author makes a odd connection to the Arch-angel Micheal being " Jesus" there are some things that are odd with that.. 1.. its not the first place I have heard this.. Some of the Jehovah witnesses have said that "Jesus" was the angel Micheal in human form... Mica EL " Who is like God" ... watch out for angel names that end with EL.. And Herbert Armstrong said something similar... with reference to when Micheal and Satan had a spat over Mose's body...
but yeah... I agree.. it would be neat if we had a name for it,,, We'd need a name for it eventually if we ever are allowed to go somewhere else... But why bother.. And you're right.. that aliens have sounds resembling our alphabets seams unusual.. unless we realize that they taught us the alphabets we have used over the years and most of those sounds,, although the symbols are different.. the sounds are similar...

It should be called Santa's system since santa clause lives here and gives presents to everybody. just think we would get more presents if we named it after him!

The Sol System. I understanding where you are coming from though.

It's a common misconception that you interchange the words "star" and "Sun" in space. IE "The Milky Way Galaxy contains 100 billion Suns". They are actually stars. We live around a star called the Sun. Therefore the name "Solar System" or "Sol System" should be unique to our system.

And with regards to our species, aliens that may have quickly scouted the system and found it inhabited, may later on choose to refer to us as "Solarians".

What is the point of naming our system when no one else in the galaxy (assuming there are others) don't know what we call it?

Kinda like naming a cat - rather pointless.

Hahaha! I love it! I vote for Planetary Swirly Mcwhirly.
2nd line

How about selling the naming rights to whoever bids the highest?

McSolar System.

Hey...I grew up with Pluto in the system....Can I petition you to add our distance icy neighbor?

Maybe when we get things straightened away and functioning as they ought to here on earth, we could name our solar system something nice.

How about the "Death Zone" to reflect our
peaceful earthly ways

One day far in the future, I may be asked where I am from... originally.
And I will say "Terra of Sol" which is googoo speak to the universe at large. When people ask what street you live on, you don't say, "My street". You know by then what name it has been given by all those before you. Hopefully in the Universal Index Roster, it will not say NGC 11247, but something cool like "Beandom".

Titan A.E lol..

no..

am I the only one who likes "The Solar System"? it works.

i'd call it Terran though, that's cool. I also liked Sentient9. Sci-fi. lol

Our planet name, if named like exoplanets would be Sol d

now that is funny
on second thought

"The Solar System" IS The name. For others we call it something else.

If you don't like that name... what about "Solarium"....?

We can say "Our solar system is called Solarium. Solarium is a solar system consisting or 10 planets and a sun which is called Sol"

In the fictional Star Trek universe, a planet is designated by its number outward from the named star.

So,

"Ceti Alpha Five" (upon which Khan had been exiled) would be the fifth planet out from the star Menkar (a.k.a., Ceti alpha) in the Cetus constellation and Menkar system.

Therefore, we would be Sol-three in the Solar System.

In other words, our system does have a name-- named after the star, Sol, thus: "Solar"

I'll buy that.

(get it? Sol d= Sold!, okay, I'll go back in my hole now)

heck. someone beat me to it.

Far as I know, we are the "Sol system".

This is pretty crazy too, ever play the game "Spore" at all?

By definition, any star that has natural objects orbiting it would be considered a solar system. There are TRILLIONS of solar systems in the universe.
