The Keith Brothers in their Traveller supplements introduced us to Element #118, called Onnesium. It turns out they weren't too far off the mark concerning the name.

IUPAC has announced the official names of the remaining 4 unnamed elements of Period 7 on the Periodic Table. Element #118 has been officially named: Oganesson (after Russian physicist Yuri Oganessian). Apparently 3000 years of evolution of the Anglic language has altered the morphology a bit. :)
