Considering we named quarks for the noise ducks don't exactly make but maybe seagulls do and their binding particle for glue, then said they come in 'flavors' of 'Topness', Bottomness', etc and 'colors' I'm surprised we haven't just decided to start naming the damn things after breakfast cereals, now that we've exhausted just about every old alphabet, and still have J/? instead of picking one. It could be worse, geophysics has a term called 'giant radiating dyke swarms', all things considered it's probably better that editors, sci-fi writers, and mass media having been picking the names of a lot of this stuff.
