I figured I'd post this in light of @Science Friction's thread about the 7 Earth-sized planets identified orbiting a dwarf star. If you were the individual in charge of naming them, what would you call them?

Zeus

Hades

Apollo

Poseidon

Aphrodite

Athena

Dionysus

Amigo

Nuff

Eskimo

Taco

Stoney
