The size of Charon really sticks out to me. Along with our own moon.

Mars’ moons are also a little underwhelming.

Ours was "moon" before we knew others existed, therefore they have "moons" with names

I'm just mad because they changed the pronunciation of uranus.

Dwarf planets.

Makemake discovered 2005
Eris discovered 2005

All by the same guy which I find interesting.

Think it over. Do you REALLY want the Moon named at this late date in our history?

If the US Govt named it, it would have a name like Laka Kawanda.

If the public named it, it would be named Moony McMoonface.
