In addition, names for persons or events known primarily for their military or political activities are acceptable only after 100 years have elapsed since the person died or the event occurred.Too bad. I'd love to give the lefties hissy fits by having it named Planet Dubya. ;-)

I believe Brown has already submitted the name "Lila" to the IAU, after his daughter. The IAU usually defers to the discoverer, but they might consider alternatives if for some reason they don't accept Brown's suggestion.

The British magazine New Scientist has called on readers to help suggest a name for the solar system's 10th planet...I thought Pluto was downgraded to "planetoid", giving us 8 planets before this dirty snowball was found? Are "planet" and "planetoid" the same thing now, or have they placed Pluto into a "planet-like" category allowing us to keep the 9 planets? Lastly, who's responsible for this cluster-***?

That's a shame. I thought it would have been perfect to name it "Hillary." They're both cold as ice and way out there.

It seems to me that the answer is self-evident. It should be named for the greatest single scientific intellect the human race has so far produced. Therefore, the name of the planet is "Einstein." (However, when my sense of humor kicks in, I kinda prefer the name, "Bob.")

As a former member of the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), I would like to suggest that the planet be called Yaf, which was the name of a planet in the movie Star Wars I (1977). However,they'll probably name it after a Roman deity. If they do so, my suggestion would be Bacchus.

If nomenclature guidelines call for non-offensive names whats with "Uranus"?

It was discovered by a team of Americans, so maybe we could tweak the rest of the world by naming it something really American and culturally imperialistic, like...
