Secondly, why should it have a complicated name?


Like Earth? Mercury? Saturn? Neptune?

Those are MAN names. Sun is well..lame.

Maybe it has such a simple name so that it'll fit into songs easily. Everybody likes songs about the sun.

Imagine the sun having a complicated name like "Serengeti". Only one band dared to climb that mountain of complicated song lyrics.

Named after Gods since they appeared to move fairly randomly in the sky. The Sun could always be predicted.
