They ran out of Greek gods.

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.

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.)

From what I can tell, they've all had a several thousand years dry spell. Haven't seen those guys around in a long time.

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.

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