I hope they continue with tradition and give it a name steeped in mythology.

yes it shall be named democracy after the mythical beast that to this day is thought to roam the wilds of america never trully seen but many reports have come in over the years! (i was reading some new laws on protecting gun makers and i just felt like getting rid of some anger. no i dont want a political debate just amusing myself)

The news here is that this newly identified distant object is larger than Pluto, so there's really no way to avoid calling it a planet (unless we also demote Puto to a "subplanetary Trans-Uranic Object").
