What kind of orbit does that newly discovered minor planet have, a highly elliptical one like a comet, or a nearly circular one like a planet? Does the object still lack a name?

Naming things is our assigned task. It has a name. 2001 KX76. The International Celestial Object Naming Committee might just leave it at that.
