they should rename this system
i was thinking Atlas' seven daughters for the planets (the pleiades). the star of course was originally named 2MASS J23062928-0502285, but they changed that to TRAPPIST-1. instead it should be named either Artemis, companion of the seven sisters, or Pleione, the mother sea-nymph of the pleiades aka the Seven Sisters
