All of the submarine cables in the world have names, and I was looking through them today. Lots of them have names that consist of numbers, initials and place names, however some have human names. These are the ones with people’s names, what do you think of them? If you had to name a son and a daughter using them, what would you go for?
Abu
Aden
Adria
Alba
Alonso
Ameriggo
Amitie
Andromeda
Anjana
Apollo
Atlas
Aurora
Blue
Celia
Chi
Columbus
Coral
Curie
Danica
Danice
Darwin
Echo
Ella
Emerald
Falcon
Florent
Flores
Geo
Georgia
Grace
Homer
Indigo
Ingrid
Iris
Isole
Janna
Jerry
Jonah
Junior
Juno
Jupiter
Leif
Lynn
Marea
Mariana
Maya
Melita
Minori
Monet
Nelson
Pierre
Raman
Saba
Scylla
Shefa
Sirius
Sydney
Thomas
Topaz
Ulysses
Zayo
Zeus
Some of these may also be place names, if the name could be both.

If I had to chose names for children I'd use Danica and Leif.

When I saw Melita on the list it reminded me of something, but I couldn't figure out what. I remembered now: the city of Melitopol. Melita is a Greek name so I am pretty sure that Melitopol probably means "City of Melita" hence why they sound similar. Melitopol was kind of close to my home city, according to Yandex maps I could walk there from my hometown in 1 day and 17 hours (assuming that military leaves me alone and I have that much stamina). If I had to name my children some of these names- Girl: Mariana or Melita (even though I associate it with the city)
Boy: Raman Raman looks Belarusian (usage 3 says it is) and where I live he would probably become Roman quickly. And I like the name Roman :) (pronounced rro-mahn).

Wow that is so neat, I had no idea! I'm surprised one of them isn't "Cable McCableface".I would name my kids Jerry Alonso and Georgia Monet.

I learned something today. And the list is not half bad, honestly. If I had to choose submarine cable names for my kids I'd probably go with Florent and Iris.
