I just saw this article on yahoo news and figured it'd be fun to have everyone pitch in with what the newest (10th) planet should be named. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, feel free to move it if need be.

Who wants to start?

Fred

One of the planets needs to be named like a normal guy--instead of some ancient Roman god that we can't even identify with. Fred is someone we know, someone we can feel for.

The name should be sold off to the highest bidder. Planet Virgin, New Coke, or Microsoftington.

Wouldn't that be an unfortunate reality?

After thinking about it for awhile, I'd say something along the lines of

"Teldon 050" :)

We have a winner.

By the way, the episode of Seinfeld with Cal Varnsen was on last night. I thought about you when I saw it.

Isn't that just the Roman name for Neptune? Why can't we name the planet Bammer?
