how about “Artemis” if it’s a girl moon?

“Sweeny” Todd, that is.

Originally, there was only ONE moon – our moon – THE MOON.

The other “moons” only came (were named) later.

These other natural satellites of other planets are usually called moons “in honor” of OUR MOON.

What do you expect from people who call their planet “soil?”

Actually the moon is called luna

We have just been mooned by Todd.

FYI: Lunatic (add) late 13c., “affected with periodic insanity dependent on the changes of the moon,” from Old French lunatique “insane,” or directly from Late Latin lunaticus “moon-struck,” from Latin luna “moon” (see luna). Etymology Dictionary

FYI

SELENE In Greek mythology, Selene (/sɪˈliːniː/; Ancient Greek: Σελήνη, [selɛ̌ːnɛː], “Moon”) is the goddess of the Moon. She is the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, and sister of the sun god Helios and the dawn goddess Eos. She drives her moon chariot across the heavens. Several lovers are attributed to her in various myths, including Zeus, Pan, and the mortal Endymion. In classical times, Selene was often identified with Artemis, much as her brother, Helios, was identified with Apollo.4 Selene and Artemis were also associated with Hecate and all three were regarded as moon and lunar goddesses, but only Selene was regarded as the personification of the Moon itself. Her Roman equivalent is Luna.5

LUNA. In ancient Roman religion and myth, Luna is the divine embodiment of the Moon (Latin luna; cf. English “lunar”). She is often presented as the female complement of the Sun, Sol, conceived of as a god. Luna is also sometimes represented as an aspect of the Roman triple goddess (diva triformis), along with Proserpina and Hecate. Luna is not always a distinct goddess, but sometimes rather an epithet that specializes a goddess, since both Diana and Juno are identified as moon goddesses.2

FYI: CYNTHIA is a feminine given name of Greek origin: Κυνθία, Kynthía, “from Mount Cynthus” on Delos island. There are various spellings for this name, and it can be abbreviated as Cindy, Cyndi, or as Cyndy.

Cynthia was originally an epithet of the Greek goddess Artemis, who according to legend was born on Mount Cynthus. Selene, the Greek personification of the moon, and the Roman Diana were also sometimes called “Cynthia”.1

Per International Astronomical Union, the group that maintains the official names of astronomical bodies. “The designation of our Moon is, therefore, the Moon, with a capital M and used as a name (a proper noun).” https://www.iau.org/public/themes/our_moon/

There used to be another one called Dave. Dave’s not here. He went to get the stuff.

ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS – EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE.

Satellites of other planets are called “moons” (lower case “m”); our moon is call the Moon (capital “M”). Our star is called the Sun (capital “s”), other stars are “suns” (lower case “s”). It’s not that complicated.

Our Planet is Terra
