Answers:
Well, I have heard many Cancerians call themselves a "Moon Child", being Cancer is ruled by the Moon!. I believe it would be impossible to change the name of the Astrological sign of Cancer because it is a Constellation!.!.!.so it would have to be changed in Astronomy also!.!.!.!.!.!. I guess you could say that to attempt it would be an astronomical task!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Forget the fortune telling part and look up the stories about the constellations!. They were mainly used like a calendar!.

The first thing you need to know is that constellations are not real!
The constellations are totally imaginary things that poets, farmers and astronomers have made up over the past 6,000 years (and probably even more!)!. The real purpose for the constellations is to help us tell which stars are which, nothing more!. On a really dark night, you can see about 1000 to 1500 stars!. Trying to tell which is which is hard!. The constellations help by breaking up the sky into more managable bits!. They are used as mnemonics, or memory aids!. For example, if you spot three bright stars in a row in the winter evening, you might realize, "Oh! That's part of Orion!" Suddenly, the rest of the constellation falls into place and you can declare: "There's Betelgeuse in Orion's left shoulder and Rigel is his foot!." And once you recognize Orion, you can remember that Orion's Hunting Dogs are always nearby!. Then you might recognize the two bright stars in the upper and lower left of the photograph as Procyon in Canis Minor and Sirius in Canis Major, respectively

Cancer, the Crab, plays a minor role in the Twelve Labors of Hercules!. While Hercules was busy fighting the multi-headed monster, Hydra, the goddess Hera, who did not like Hercules, sent the Crab to distract him!. Cancer grabbed onto the hero's toe with its claws, but barely breaking the rhythm of his great battle with Hydra, Hercules crushed the crab with his foot!. Hera, grateful for the little crustacean's heroic but pitiful effort, gave it a place in the sky!.

Another story is from the Chaldaean and Platonist philosophy, who thought that Cancer was The Gate of Man through which souls passed from heaven to earth and into human bodies

Cancer is famous despite itself due to its Zodiacal origins!. In fact, it is very faint with no stars brighter than 4th magnitude!.

Yeah, sometimes I feel like that, but recently I've learned not to be ashamed of it!. Cancer is the latin word for crab, and we can't help it if a deadly disease was named after it!. If people think I'm some kind of disease just because of the name of my sign, they can stay away, because I don't want to know people as foolish as that!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well, if you're saying "I'm a Cancer", it doesn't sound like you have cancer!. But usually, if someone is said to be a cancer (not Cancer), it means that they're poisonous and vile and harmful to others, which hardly describes a Cancer!. I know that a few decades ago, Cancers were called "Moon Children", since Cancer is ruled by the moon!. Or, you could call yourself a Crab!. Oh wait!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Not really, and actually!.!.!.when I am having one of my many crabby days I tell people "It's the Cancer" because most of the time I look down upon my negative emotions like they're a disease!. I think Cancer is a fitting word for our sign in that respect!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

You could always translate it into English and call it the crab instead!.

Interesting factoid: Doctors originally named the disease "cancer" because it reminded them of crabs, cancer being the Latin word for crabs!.

It never really bothered me!. I'm a Cancer sounds completely different from I have Cancer!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Well after a look at the icon of each sign id say lets change cancer for one of these:
!.Frogs
!.Vortex
!.AccumulatorWww@Enter-QA@Com

Sure - you call is Lobster (that's the sign) but it sounds equally weird and you'd still have to translate it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

i agree with u when u sy that u dont like the name Cancer but i guess thats just the name that they gave it so il stick wit it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

You could say 'I'm a Cancerian' instead!.
