Names for a colony on Mars

[heavens-champion 1,905]

What would be good names for colonies on Mars?

[zerox 1,093]

Mars XYZ

 

lol

Roanoke. It can't fail a second time, right?

[Invincible 2,091]

How about 'Gagarin' or 'Armstrong'? I would've preferred to name (at least the first) colonies on another planet after pioneer figures of spaceflight.

Since Mars is named after the Roman god of war, IMO, Roman-esque names would suit pretty well.

[Messy Mane 9,032]

imo the name "mikri poli" sounds pretty cool at least to me.

Colony McColonyface has a nice ring to it.

[Prospekt 11,018]

New Earth

Just kidding, how about Enterprise?

Trump City has a certain ring to it... They could build a big wall around it and keep the martians out.

Not another Trump joke.

The Red Faction wouldn't be so bad

New Jamestown... For those who don't know Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in America. It was the first English town of the new world, it only seems right for it to be the first town of this new planet.

Mars Eisley. 

 

Too obscure?

The Hive has an otherworldly ring to it and fits the idea of colinization. I also like the sound of Infinite and Limitless.

In movies and TV the name Hive is usually used for villains and villain groups  (e.g. Agents of Shield, Arrow). I would feel uncomfortable knowing there was a place called The Hive on Mars doing who-knows-what. But that's just the way my brain works.

"not gonna happen"

 

"hypothetical expenses" 

 

"we spend more than 8 times as much on national defense than science"  

[Sporemane 546]

I'd named the colony "Matt Damion", because potatoes.

Maybe the Scarlet Colony has a nice ring to it.

A long while back, I think Canada won a bid to name the first Martian city. And they picked Toronto. Toronto, Mars.

Sheldtrume, which is Middle English for "shelter."

[EpicEnergy 23,146]

Elonmusktopia

Also every bar in that colony must be named Mars Bar!

The great city of Multa milia
