I know this guy is a tard but damnit the English centrist view of "Alien" names.
Suppose Aliens and strictly speaking here, completely biological aliens or semi-bio aliens had vocal cords.
Even if these Aliens did use speech as a way to communicate between each other, there are several reasons why it could be complete gibberish if not impossible to clearly hear for us.
-
They and their speech is adapted to their home planet conditions. - Atmosphere density and pressure which is Fg, due to planet mass and whatever else. On Earth whatever they tried to say would sound different to us and them.
-
Same for hearing, revert back to 1. Due to planetary differences which are statistically speaking highly likely, anything said by them in our atmo conditions would be probably incomprehensible to them.
-
Having said that, Aliens having names that are easily pronounced or Anglicized is highly unlikely. Unless they are cool with taking up American names. Fuck yeeeaa MERIKA.
We would really need a universal translator.
