1) Yes*
2) No. They'd be angered.
3) No. They couldn't care less. Would they see it as an insult or an honor that we named their  -like vessel/probe "Oumuamua"? Dan
* Maybe we could trick them into thinking it's the name of an illustrious leader on Earth. What a great start to honest relations between our species that would be! :)

3 because we would be in trouble if they did care. |

They might if all of a sudden they were known everywhere in the universe as the Oumuamuanians, or something like that, thanks to us. And what if "Oumuamua" means something bad to them? Dan |

Well if they are real aliens they have a universal translater and can understand Hawaiian … |

" the name of an illustrious leader on Earth." Would that be… Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow…? ;-) |

LOL. Legion, do all aliens have a universal translator now? Zephyr1, maybe it's really pronounced Oh-mwah-mwah, like something out of a Charlie Brown cartoon. If so, then maybe the full name is Boom Boom Chick Oh-mwah-mwah, a great kahuna according to some of his faithful. YouTube link
YouTube link Oh wait. On second thought, Boom Boom might not be a good name for an asteroid … or a spaceship for that matter. Dan |

OK. You guys are having waaaaay too much fun with this topic. You would almost think you were having it on with global warming.  |

StoneMtMinis- Would that be Oumuamua-made Global Warming? |
| Cacique Caribe | 09 Mar 2018 2:43 p.m. PST |
I don't see how that 1300-foot long poop-like thing could affect us from so far away but, what the heck, thanks a lot Oumuamua! Dan |

Legion, do all aliens have a universal translator now?
All the ones I talk to do … or over wise … well we couldn't. Talk that is … 
Boom Chicka Wow Wow !
