The new one needs a name, something unpronounceable like Cruithne

Now, now, go easy on the Gaelic orthography (it's really pretty simple):

From Near-Earth asteroid 3753 Cruithne: The Dalriada Celtic Heritage Trust inform us the Cruithne were "the first Celtic racio-tribal group to come to the British Isles, appearing between about 800 and 500 B.C., and coming from the European continent. They were also known as the Picts. The correct pronunciation for 'Cruithne' is 'croo-een-ya'. The emphasis should be on the -een-".
