"I dunno. It's fun to say though, no?

'GLORY TO ARSTOTZKA!'

No?

Gaspard, who had just recently returned from his scouting expedition and had been about to give his report to Lenox, cleared his throat.
"What do you mean, giant creatures? My scouting mission turned up absolument nothing different out there, besides... well, there are mushrooms here, I suppose, which I'll show you after the meeting."

Joseph clears his throat, and raises his data-tablet up to his eyes, reading his notes carefully.

"According to several citizen reports...

Medium to large sized animals...

Scurrying around trees directly South of ship.

...

Which direction did you go, perchance?

"Maybe the hunters scared off all the prey with their noisy tent-setting.

Or maybe these creatures have a nest down there. Either way, they're still a problem.

"Hmm. I'll take a -careful- sweep just out into the area this next month, I suppose. And I'll admit I'll agree with the girl here. How about... Nouveau Louisiana? Or, heh, perhaps a bit more seriously... Greenwater Landing?"

"Do names need to have a meaning?

They GAIN their meaning through use. Words only ever gain meaning through use. Let's add a word to the dictionaries around Earth right now, and all around Lustrum. Arstotzka.
"

Joseph shrugs upon hearing Gaspard's suggestion, and looks to the crowd for their opinion.

The crowd leans towardsArstotska, but Joseph knowd that's only because he's the one who came up with it; they would have supported him if he had decided to call the Colony Hogwarts.
There is some issue with the inherent difficulty in pronouncing Arstotzka.

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

"Arsto.... Arstotzk.... jeez. That IS hard to pronounce.

Sorry guys... how about we come up with something new. Let's just name it...

JOSEPHLAND...

... hmmm...

This is difficult.

How about.... Novus. It is the latin word for new, or beginnings. I feel it symbolizes the new start of our lives, and the beginning of our futures, very well.

Say it with me. No-vus.

Cynthia is at the meeting, but is fine with everything being said. Novus sounds good to her, and she honestly doesn't care all that much about names.
