With some other's suggestions, I looked up some Greek variants that allude to the Greek gods, like Serenity to Serene. These are some of the ones I found. Would love other's thoughts.
Mercury - Hermione, Hermia
Mars - Aretha, Aris
Jupiter - Zenobia, Zenovia, Zinovia
Venus - Afroditi, Aphrodisia
Uranus - Cealum, Anima, Aurora
Neptune - Isla, Petra
Pluto - Amarantha (I couldn't find much relating to Chronos)
Saturn - Haides, Tyflos
(I switched Pluto and Saturn, as they were switched in the original. Pluto is connected to Hades originally, while Saturn is connected to Chronos originally. However, Naoko for some reason flipped them, so I thought I might as well do the same)

So I was trying to find a list of the Senshi' princess names and found nothing, aside from their planet names. So Sailor Mars is Princess Mars. Personally, I'd rather have names for them like Usagi has Serenity. I did a bit of research into the planets' characteristics as well as looking into some stone representations.
Eventually, I got into Latin names, as Serenity is derived from the Latin word, Serenus, as well Selene, which in Greek was a goddess. There is also Mare Serenitatis (Sea of Serenity), where the kingdom is said to reside. So, I ended up with these names. I just wanted everyone else's opinions on them.
Mercury - Princess Carina (Latin - Dear, Beloved) (Based off a basin, Caloris, on Mercury. Mostly just a similar sounding word, cause Caloris means Heat, which doesn't suit Mercury.)
Mars - Princess Merula (Latin - Blackbird) (Based off the Medusa Fossae, mostly just the similar letters.)
Jupiter - Princess Aurora (Latin - Dawn) (Based off the Auroras that show up on Jupiter)
Venus - Princes Therasia (Latin - Summer) (Based off the Tesserae on Venus)
Uranus - Princess Rosaurea (Latin - Golden Rose) (I don't remember what made me pick this aside how pretty it looked and seemed to suit Uranus.)
Neptune - Princess Tricius (Latin - loosely means noble) (Kind of connected this to the ring Triton.)
Pluto - Princess Elysia (Latin - Blessed isles) (This was a suggested name in connotation to Pandemonium, which is a dorsa (ridge) on Pluto)
Saturn - Princess Priscilla (Latin - Ancient) (Saturn had a nickname of "Lubadsagush” from the ancient Assyrians. The name means “oldest of the old”. So I thought it would be good to go along those lines with her name.)
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about some of the names. So I would love others thoughts on these as well, if they aren't good, any suggestions (with meaning and connection) would be greatly appreciated!
And yes, this means that I am actively working on the Umbral of the Moon story.
Hey everyone, I found that I rather enjoying doing transformations drawings and they don't take particularly long to make. So I thought I might open commissions for it specifically for those who want one. I do have some ground rules though!
