We should name the moon. Most people don't call their pets "dog" or "cat".

Luna is the Latin word for moon. It’s not the official name in English. It’s just called “Moon” in English, just like the sun is just called “Sun” despite being many other words in other languages.

Because there is just one of them it’s not really necessary to give it a unique name, but there are lots of options in Latin, Greek and other languages if you want to get fancy.

Wdym? Sun is the name, Star is the type of celestial body, Moon is the name, satellite is the type of celestial body. This post is a farce, don’t fall for OP’s BS!

Well I call it Luna, and I speak English, so it’s called Luna in English.
