By that metric, the proper name is Yue Liang.

I thought it was a nice touch in SEV that the Terran leader looks Asian.

Note that I said "The Moon's name is...The Moon, in the English language" thus the Chinese name is irrelevant.

A majority of Terrans don't speak English; therefore I submit that it's the English name that's irrelevant.

While that may be true at the moment that english is not the majority language of the world. Research shows that nearly 380 million people speak english as their native language. But if you add in all the non-native speakers,it is probably the most common language spoken worldwide depending if you count the chinese languages as actual languages or dialects. It is the language of communication between people and businesses. The number of non-native to native speakers is around 3-1 by some estimates. Just go to any country that is not native english speaking and you will see a plethora of "learn english schools" and some countries actively teach english in their own school system.

I would submit that the english name of Moon is not irrelevant and is more in use than any other name.
