Re: [eclipse.org-planning-council] Finalizing the list of Kepler+1 Names

["Ian Skerrett" <ian.skerrett@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I concede that the Lovelace movie would make this a bad name.  If not for
the movie, I think it would be a great name for the youthful part of our
community.

You will notice that the people who have had a similar reaction to me are
all old enough to have been around in the 70's. It's unfortunate, but at the
time it was quite a cultural phenomenon.

I honestly think that since there is about to be a Linda Lovelace biopic
released - with (I assume) a full Hollywood studio promotion - "Lovelace" is
not a usable release name in 2013. From a purely practical perspective, I
can recall how many of my web searches were unusable when the "Eclipse"
movie was released a few years ago. 

Which is all to say that I hope that "... there's enough agreement to strike
that name from the list."
