They asked Twitter to help name the 7 planets in the Trappist system.

You can imagine what happened...

Wow. Respect for the one who named them after the Challenger crew!

its in the Trap(p)ist-system, right ?   one ore two "p"?
...phonetically it sound like "Trappist", those are monks who are always keep silence and live in strong ascesis

so i think : Ascesis  Calmness  Humility  Hush  Placidity  Quiescence Tranquillity

rythems with a general 'monks theme' without steering up political correctness or SJW -issues  that it is 'too Christian' cause other religions monks/holy man in 'monasteries-places'  also stand in for those terms
