If you are going to name it, then Luna is how most people have traditionally referred to it in English.

Scientificly it is called the "Moon". Also for the "Sun" same for the "Earth". What would be interesting is what other celestial civilizations call our planets and sun as we name other countries different from what their inhabitants call themselves. Can you imagine the fun when we learn that the galaxy we call "The Milky Way" is known as "Snickers" by others?

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It has no formal English name other than "the Moon", although it is occasionally called Luna (Latin: moon), or Selene (Greek: moon), to distinguish it from the generic term "moon" (referring to any of the various natural satellites of other planets). Its symbol is a crescent (?). The related adjective for the Moon is lunar (again from the Latin root), but this is not found in combination, the combining forms seleno-/-selene (again from the Greek) and -cynthion (from the Lunar deity Cynthia) being used in terms relating to the Moon in various other contexts (e.g. aposelene, selenocentric, pericynthion, etc.). -wikipedia

Technically, it's a natural satellite. A satellite is any celestial body that orbits another. Even though we call other planets satellites moon, it's still a satellite with a name, and ours is named Moon. It only seems like our moon doesn't have a name because we call all the other satellites moons too.

"Since ancient times, many cultures have attributed deranged behavior in humans to the Moon - particularly the Full Moon. The scientific name for the Earth's Moon is Luna. This is how we came to refer to a mentally unbalanced individual as a - lunatic!
