"Galaxy" and "lactation" share etymology. Funny, isn't it?

…and it's not like the scientific community even existed when Milky Way was named like that in English.

Maybe you'll prefer the original (dead-language) Latin version: Via Lactea. Sounds cooler to me, maybe because it's a Dead language name.

Sounds like how the Ancients in StarGate series would call it.

Incidentally that is exactly what we call it in Spanish.

Fun tangential fact: "Star Wars" in Spanish is known as "Galaxy Wars" (La Guerra de Las Galaxias.)

Well "Andro-milk" sounds like a muscle supplement..
