Earth has no scientific name (Earth is the scientific name for world) but, some people will sometimes refer to earth as Gaia (GAY-yah) the Greek word referring to a personified earth (Earth as a person)
You could call it terra firma although that is not entirely accurate. Terra firma usually means 'land', therefore does not incorporate the sea. But since we also call land or dirt 'earth' this could therefore transfer into calling the planet terra firma. Room for argument there.
