How the periodic table has evolved

There is a whole part of the forum dedicated to the Natural Science. Why not post this there?
 
I proposed Nipponium (Nippon = actual name of Japan, original historic pronunciation), so I'm glad they went with Nihonium at least (Nihon = actual name of Japan, the most commonly used modern pronunciation in Japan itself).

Interestingly Japan means “Well, bread!” (will you believe :D ) in the Japanese language. Wellbreadium would have been such a silly name.
