Yes, the NomCom has final say but I believe they do listen to what is
spread on this list and elsewhere as well as to what the original
finders have to say. If it falls in there guidelines (whatever those
are) then suggestions spread around may influence what the stone is called.
Pretty sure Buzzard Coulee's name was influenced by the finders and by
this list.
Cheers!

Exactly. I think past falls have shown us that there is no point
trying to push one name over another. Amgala... ooops I mean Oum
Dreyga is a perfect example of that and dare I mention West...
ooops... sorry... Ash Creek! ;-)
Anyhow, I thought it was generally the first person submitting the
classification/meteorite who got the rights (within reason).
Cheers,

Greetings,
It will be called what the Nomenclature Committee decides to name it
as naming has always been done in the past. Dr. Jeff Grossman made
mention the name Livingston would probably not be used due to
conflict with other named specimens.
Best!

Hello Listers,
I think the name of the meteorite should be Livingston because wasnt
that the first place a meteorite was found and the media has been
talking about that town. Plus it seems like that was ground zero the
first couple of days when everyone rushed into WI.

I see everybody starting to call this fall "Livingston"... but this is
not likely to be accepted as the name since there are already meteorites
named Livingston (Montana) and Livingston (Tennessee).

You all know that we gotta call it the Livingston strewn field. In
fact we should start a new nameing process where all meteorites that
are from a strewn field should have a large S after it. Regardless
of the name of the rock.
