Unbinilium, symbol Ubn, element 120, is the second lowest-numbered unknown, and therefore unnamed, element. (When 120 is discovered and officially named, at the bottom there will be an official name section with the official name in it.) If your name idea is serious, meaning there is a rhyme and reason and it follows IUPAC rules, it goes in “Serious name ideas”, while if it is random or silly, it goes in “Joke name ideas”. Please respect this classification. If you put your element name in Serious Name Ideas, please state a reason for the name.
Please do not delete the names that other people put unless they are vulgar or rude. If you have an account, you are encouraged to put your account name next to the idea so people know who made it, though it is not required if you would like to stay anonymous.

IUPAC Naming Rules[]
According IUPAC rules, an element should be named after:
- a place (often the place where the discovery specimen came from)
- a mineral (often the mineral in which the element was discovered)
- a mythological character, or an astronomical object
- a property of that element or of the mineral in which it was discovered
- or a scientist
There are two exceptions to naming elements for scientists. First, the person honored should not be aware of it (i.e, dead). Seaborgium and oganesson are exceptions to this rule; but they are both quirks of history and national pride. It is unlikely to happen again. Second, the discoverer of an element is expected to resist the temptation to name it after themselves.
Serious Name Ideas[]
Strasbourgium[]
Named after Strasbourg, the city where the joint institute that produced 50Ti beams in mid-2022 for the 249Cf + 50Ti reaction to produce unbinilium is located.
Zhongguoium[]
Named after china, because china synthesized starch and glucose.
Joke Name Ideas[]
Schweppium (@OrangePraseodymium)[]
So, if we have ilqium for 119, we should have for 121-123 iziium, izzium, and izeium, like the soda brand. This is the element that comes before all of the soda brand names. So, what soda brand comes before all of the other soda brands? The first soda brand. The first soda brand was Schweppes. So, the name for this is obvious.
hah you can’t say that it should be serious now because it is based off of the properties of other elements and not the properties of itself
oh and the symbol is Sw🕶️, it’s wearing glasses because swag
