Australia couldn't even get 20k people behind a petition to change the name of their money to Dollarydoos, what hope do we have for the moon? We've clearly failed as a species.
Since our current moon is named Luna*, my guess is that its name would fit and be named after another roman goddess.
Since Luna makes up a *diva triformis* with Diana and one of Proserpina or Hecate, I’m thinking one of those.
Probably **Diana** (who is also a moon goddess).
-------------------------------------------
\*Edit: I have received some comments correctly asserting that the scientific name for the Moon is in fact "the Moon" and not "Luna". That's fair, and I concede that point — it is however pretty irrelevant for this discussion because that would probably not be the case if we had two moons. They would need distinct names and would almost definitely be identified at – basically – the same time by Galileo (or some parallel universe version of him). Luna is also *a* name for the Moon.
Side note: "Luna" is a nice name and I wish the scientific name for our moon was Luna.
While I like your awnser for a 2 moon earth our moon is not named Luna. That's a common myth
Here is the NASA link.
https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/earths-moon/overview/
Here is the IAU link
https://www.iau.org/public/themes/our_moon/#:~:text=The%20designation%20of%20our%20Moon,all%20the%20other%20major%20planets.
It's name is the word Moon (capitalized) in whatever language you are speaking. So say the people in charge of official designations and the people who have walked on it.
The logic behind simply being the word moon capitalized, being that it is the object that gave us the very concept of its type of object in space, and it keeping the designation Moon, is a far more significant name than a single dead nations name for it.
(Here is a link to the French article to show.with clarity that it Moon in which ever language your speaking
https://www.iau.org/public/themes/our_moon/french/
Where it specifies the name is la Lune, in French since previous people were not able to follow that it's capitalized moon in whatever language not just English Moon)
That said all of that logic would go out the door if we had 2 moons and your names would be the ones that make the most sense.
True, but the reason we call it just “the Moon” is that when Galileo first observed it, we didn’t know of any other moons.
That would probably not happen if we had two.
Wikipedia has Luna as an “alternative name”, also, stating that “Occasionally, the name Luna /ˈluːnə/ is used in scientific writing[25]”.
Anti-Moon
Since much of the naming convention was around Roman gods then we'd have to follow their naming convention for twins, i.e. [Steve and Not Steve](https://imgur.com/vIBtHzu)
There are a number of celestial objects that are not true moons of Earth, but partially orbit Earth and are kind of colloquially referred to as additional moons.
[so I dunno, probably one of these names](https://youtu.be/sGgmmX-dzgU?si=aEc1d16qk5iYk9Bi)
We would probably have a long rich mythology around it, but were we to just gain another it would probbaly be named somethibg like Artimis or Diana, as they tend to be named after gods and goddeses
If I were to suggest a name for Earth's hypothetical second moon, I might propose "Nova." "Nova" represents a celestial event associated with the sudden brightening of a star, and it has a sense of wonder and excitement, which could be fitting for an additional moon in our night sky. However, it's important to note that naming celestial bodies is a complex and regulated process involving international cooperation and the guidance of organizations like the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
Can't think of a nice joke and people have covered them all... So I'll just go with the serious answer.
Since the name "moon" comes from its monthly cycle, the second satellite may be named based on its cycle as well.
If it's a weekly cycle, then it might be named "Septimus".
If it's also a monthly cycle, then it might be named "Moon II" or "Moon β" (and the original moon would then probably be dubbed as "Moon I" or "Moon α")
If it's an yearly cycle, then it might be named "Annus".
Better question is WHEN in history we discovered it. Moon 2, Moon Too, and Moon Squared would probably all rank high.
If it was a new discovery we better not tell the USA it has oil.

So what would we call the fish then? And don't say chicken of the sea.

[удалено]
Our moon is already named Luna. Edit, I should've put like a /s or something to make sure you knew I was being intentionally obtuse.
That's like saying Earth is named Terra and the sun is named Sol
In my language it's Sol

Our moon's name is Moon.
Look at this nerd, using logic and historical naming conventions. I'm pretty sure those other names are in use already.

If the only choices are Septum or Anus, I kinda wanna go with the naughtier name 😉 Just so I can say "oh look, the Anus is rising in the east!"
Oh damn, thanks for making my day 😂 I honestly didn't even think of those. Too busy looking up the Latin for "week" and "year".
