Lance's English name

So... What would be another rocket ship with a Greek influenced name?

So, perhaps either Atlas or Delta...

Ares! I keep sayin', it's perfect for one of them!

I don't picture him as an Ares. Ares is Athena's counterpart in Greek Mythology. They're both gods of war. But Athena and Apollo are obviously counterparts here. So Delta makes the most sense.

Meh, it probably doesn't matter. I figure they'll change more of their names than just his, considering what they did for the Galactic Admins.

True, but I don't know why they would. They're good names for the most part.

"We can't use Pluto! People would confuse that for the dog! We can't use Heath! It's gotta be Tucker!" Etc. etc. etc.

Stinky Pete the Prospector: That's it.
Woody: What?
Stinky Pete the Prospector: The show was cancelled after that.
Woody: Wait, wait, wait. What about the gold mine and... and the cute little critters and the dynamite? That was a great show! I mean, why cancel it?
Stinky Pete the Prospector: Two words: Sput-nik. Once the astronauts went up, children only wanted to play with space toys.
Woody: I know how that feels.

Oh lol I thought he was saying like "spot-nick" since the word "nick" could be used like the word "steal" so like the space themed stuff "stole" the spot of the cowboy themed stuff....I get it now...
 
Well if Greek gods then Ares. If not Ariane. Its both manly and feminine like he is!q

Maybe Game Freak got lazy and named him Bob.

I never noticed a pokemon character name Bob...>>

Just for the record, there's a Bird Keeper Bob in G/S/C (and I can therefore assume possibly HG/SS too) who had a lv. 34 Noctowl. And in German and French dubs, Lt. Surge is known as Major Bob. Also, in the 2nd movie English dub, when Ash found out he was the chosen one, hearing "the world will turn to Ash", he did wish for a moment that he had been named Bob.

Sorry to go off topic. Lol. Just wanted to point that out. ^_^

No, it couldn't. Both Champion Lance and Rocket Executive Lance have prominent roles in HGSS.

I say no to Greek Gods. The theme is ROCKETS, people! Like in space!

I say the best bets are Ares, Atlas, Taurus, Thor, or Titan. I'm sticking mostly with U.S. rockets seeing as they'll want the rocket names to be recognizable to Americans.

I said rockets named after Greek myths. The ones you listed are that anyway...
