Whoa there, I don't reject the Quaoar name. I said it's fine, it fits the theme well enough. I only expressed a preference that they stuck with roman/greek names. I don't think they're running out of those, I clicked a few at random on wikipedia's list and the ones I happened to click didn't have corresponding planets yet.

They could have named it Terminus, or Fontus, or Quirinus, or Vejovis, or... But whatever.




This isn't a planet though, why should it get a planet's name?
