This is my son Earth (I just love it, I love the earth).
You Say: Earth, nice to meet you.
You Think: Nine planets, eight of which have names also used on people...and the kid gets called Earth. Oh well, it's not at all bad as a name.

This is my son North.
You Say: Hey there, North.

This is my son Basil.
You Say: Basil, I love that name.
