Drama and Calamity

I'd like a mythological name as I already have joke names.

 

[NTP2]

also I did not include any Greek gods because they are done to death.

Stolen from google search ...

Castor and Pollux: Also known as the Dioscuri, these twin brothers were the sons of Zeus and Leda. Castor was mortal, while Pollux was divine. They were protectors of sailors and were associated with the constellation Gemini.

So maybe name the stack, Dioscuri ?

I agree that Apollo and Artemis have already been done a tad but here they are for the record: Apollo and Artemis: These twin siblings each ruled over different parts of the day and night. Apollo raised the sun across the sky, while Artemis drew the moon across the sky at night.

Since its a single rocket at launch, I suggest JukiJura.

It is a condensed version of your order and chaos gods. And it will be unique according to Google!!!

ok then vote for that and I'll remember to condense them if they win.

 

[NTP2]

Looks like no one likes any of these names, I guess I’ll just choose one.

Icarus and Daedalus

Icarus and Daedalus

Maybe if I were to choose a western name I’d go for that one, but nut and geb are so perfect in my opinion. And the others will be funny when the LCO finds out!

the LCO when reading the card…

 

[PeteMiner]

Haumea for something you expect to end up really far away.
Oumuamua for something that will depart and never return.

Or go Inca, with Inti as the sun deity and Mama Killa (or Mama Quilla, "ki-ya") the moon deity

I came here for that last one. Have pity on the poor LCO. They get about 2 seconds to decipher your handwriting and then make their best guess at the pronunciation. Whatever it is should be obvious how to pronounce it from the text.

I prefer appropriating extinct religions, so I’ll suggest going ancient Egyptian with Aker (booster, god of earth) and Horus (sustainer, god of the sun and sky). Backup ones Set (violence and chaos) and Shu (wind and air).

I’m not superstitious, but rockets named after disasters seem to have higher failure rates. YMMV.
