Random thought


We went to SoCal over the weekend for my cousin's wedding. (Yay!) It was a long drive. (Ugh.) So I had lots of time to think. So, random road question: if you had the opportunity to name a newly-discovered element, what would you call it? Would you use the common -ium ending (Plutonium, Helium, Californium)? Try for the sexy -gen ending (Nitrogen, Hydrogen)? Go for something exotic (Antimony, Nickel, Cobalt)?

Bonus question: what would the symbol (N, Au, Xe) be?
