I named Bean after astronaut Alan Bean who was the fourth person to walk on the moon. I also like the reference to Bean in Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game books.
I had been intending to name him
Orion Caught A Ride With The Moon (lyrics from "Tear in Your Hand" by Tori Amos)
then it occurred to me that
Orion Take To The Sky (again, Tori Amos)
would be rather nice as well, and less to write on entry forms.
(Steve's registered name is Orion Never Seen Blue, again with the Tori Amos)
From an Ender's Game standpoint,
Orion The Enemy's Gate Is Down
isn't bad. I like the literary nerdiness of it.
I've also been looking at space terms
Orion Go For Launch
Orion Escape Velocity
Someone suggested
Orion Shoot The Moon
which is a nice nod to the gambling theme of this litter
