RE: How would you name Planet Nine?

In an old gray Isaac Asimov story, an interstellar  survey team was sent out (one of many) looking to follow up on previous surveys. When this particular team reached the Sirius planetary system, they discovered that the previous survey team had missed the fact that there were more planets. That team had simply numbered them from 1 to (whatever the number of the outermost planet was). It turned out that the previous team had missed the innermost planet. Now, the captain of the ship was allowed to name said planet. If you've read any Asimov, you will know what a punster he was. The captain named that planet Nothing Sirius.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
