So we've got this dwarf planet named "2003 UB313". Doesn't really sing, does it? What should we call it instead? Remember, there's a Roman god theme going here.

I vote for Vulcan. That far out Uncle Buck (taking off on the UB in the name) may not be all that volcanic. But it would be a neat nod to Star Trek and all the imaginations it's fueled. I'm also open to something Star Wars but I don't remember any names that would fit the category.

onsekiz, that's a neat recommendation but I don't see where it falls into the category. (You know how those scientists are.) Can you enlighten me?

Wolverine, isn't Bacchus already the patron god of politicians?

tmbsgrl, I love it. I can just see all the scientists fighting to be the one to probe heranus.

As it is a dwarf planet - why not call it Dopey? :wah:

OR

As it 'follows' Pluto - why not call it Mickey? :D

OR

A Trekkie name would be good! I also like Vulcan - or how about Roddenberry? (after Gene) :-6
