Close, it's Proserpine. Which isn't nearly as pretty sounding as Persephone, I think.
And I prefer the Greek names. We should change all the names of all the planets simply because I like the Greek names better!

Meh. It's all Greek to me.

I read a book recently called funnily enough "The Tenth Planet". It is about the discovery of a Tenth planet in our solar system and the subsequent invasion/annihilation of Earth by the Aliens inhabiting this new planet. Not a bad book really.

I personally think we should call it Vera, and that's not jsut cos of firefly referanceness, but cos it'd be funny for a plannt to be named something quite ordinary.
You all seem to be missing the major problem that will arise now. All the ryhmes used to learn the order of plannets will now be extinct. AGHHHHHHH!
And this should be taken into concideration when deciding on the new plannets name. (if it is a new plannet etc.)
