I think the naming convention was lost on them - I'm pronouncing "Orbvt" as "Or-butt".

That is correct. In the 32 seconds we took to think of names, couldn't come up with anything that worked with meteors that had a 'u' in it.

Or-butt is the correct pronunciation.

Suggestions welcomed.

Svperbolide, Meteordvst, Spacedvst, Bvrst, Sodivm, Spectrvm, Eqvinox, Tempel-tvttle, Altitvde, Baetylvs, Svrface, Chondrvle, Dvstbowl, Lvnar, Vrth, etc etc.

I think Lvnar is a winner for me. I might have to change it.

No! Keep 'em guessing! I literally chuckled when I saw "Orbvt"
