Lance's English name

I want to go with Sputnik.

LOL. This is the name that I wanted for Lambda! It totally fits him!

As for Lance, what about Green Cheese?

Lol, just kidding.

I thinking Ares for Lambda and Orion for Lance.

With those names we'll get double pattern - Rocket names and Greek mythological figures.
 
I actually think it's a pity those Rocket Admins don't have real first names, but instead names of actual rockets. Unless it's a code they use or something.
 
I say the best bets are Ares, Atlas, Taurus, Thor, or Titan. I'm sticking mostly with U.S. rockets seeing as they'll want the rocket names to be recognizable to Americans.

How many in the target demographic would actually know rocket names in the first place? Unless they were actually into that stuff.

You'd be surprised. I was HUGELY into space travel and such in my youth.

Why would the translation team care? All kids care about is cool names.

Hence why they wouldn't care whether or not they used the names of American Rockets.

Sputnik ftw >=[

And I was into Greek mythology and outer space (not really space travel so I learned about the planets), how many other children are like you?

Well, I have an identical twin, so... one?
Shoot. I see your point.
