Name the new element

Since it will probably be unstable: Harikarium.

Imodium.

Valium.

Nexium.

Materia

To get the kids interested, maybe we should try something with a pop-culture edge. How about Eminemium?

Bukkakium?

Heavium

Groovium

But I think Godzillium is best.

JThunderium.

Funkium? Clintonium?

the suggestion of “Bob” nearly made me fall off my chair. nice. :wink:

The lab should auctino off the naming rights to corporations to get funding.

We could have…

Intelium

Nabisconium

AOLTimeWarnerium

Although if it’s in Japan…

Nissanium

Sonium

But if they don’t want to do that, they should just call it Titanium Mark II

muiium

leeloominum?

Don’t worry, you can safely land in my lap. :wink: :slight_smile:

Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor your sense of appropriateness is impeccable. You have my vote.

However, if ‘the powers that be’ (we know who that is, don;'t we, kids?) invoke the constraints of logic over appropriation:

Densestium

(But I hope they don’t; I like “Bob.”)

unobtainium

Holy crap, that’s hilarious!

That one gets my vote. :smiley:

Hentaium.

My favourite suggestion so far is “hellokittium”.

BTW, I think all this new stories are incorrect in saying that Uut (ununtrium, as the boring old scientists call it at the moment) would be the densest known element. Highest atomic mass, sure, but that is something totally different — otherwise elements like uranium and plutonium (atomic masses 238 and 244 respectively) would be denser than, say, osmium and iridium (atomic masses 190 and 192).

Gojirium would be even better.
