Planet YES, Xena NO

Mark Eby — 8/1/2005 2:23:45 AM (archived)

and I even liked the show. It's just not fitting to name a planet after a fictional greek hero when the rest are Roman versions of historical Greek Gods. I think Athena is already by an asteroid as are several other greek goddesses. Athena would be my preference if available. Persephone might be appropriate too. A mean bitch of a female Titan might be appropriate as a possible mother of comets.

Regards,
Mark
