Naming of Planets and Moons
By the way, this site has a mostly complete summary of the various meanings of the names of planets and moons. My favorite naming convention involves the moons of Uranus: characters from Shakespeare and Alexander Pope. Most moons were named for females, but males are catching up. My second favorite convention involves craters on Mercury: all famous artists and authors.
