Then use words, or some blob of syllables of some kind of description.

naw. they just stopped naming the children after the first couple rounds of olympians.

why name them when there’s a few hundred a month? breed like rabbits, Olympians. probably out of boredom.

I know that Olympians fuck like rabbits, but they only meet up once every four years. Can’t be that massive of a population increase.

Assuming they started off as two of them 2000 years ago and Fibonacci was right about rabbit breeding habits (and Olympians mature in 4 years time and don’t menopause before the age of 2000). We’d have 139423224561697880139724382870407283950070256587697307264108962948325571622863290691557658876222521294125 (500th element of the Fibonacci sequence (2000 years / 4 years = 500 Olympian breeding seasons). There’d be plenty of them to name planets after.

You really think Zeus is gonna have that long of a dry spell? Never mind Aphrodite or Dionysus?

I bet Hera is a closet freak, too. (Zeus just doesn’t like the whips.)
