"Because it's silly to use a noun (a name of something) as a proper noun
(the Name of something specific; as in place, object, or person)."

Good point! Another reason is because there are dozens of moons
around the planets in our Solar System, so using `Luna', the actual name of
Earth's moon, avoids misunderstandings on lists such as this one.
