Recently analysis of more and more KBO orbits is 'hinting' at a two planet solution.

So, lets work on 2 names.

How about Bonny and Clyde ?

I second this. All of the other planets in our system (except Earth of course) are named after Roman/Greek gods. This would be sticking to the pattern so far. Also, Bacchus is awesome.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

It MUST be Rupert.

Rupert[edit]
A planet in Earth's solar system beyond the orbit of Pluto. Rupert was named Persephone, but nicknamed Rupert after an astronomer's pet parrot. It was eventually settled by the Grebulons.
In 2005, a large body fitting Rupert's description was discovered beyond Pluto (which was considered a planet then, as opposed to a dwarf planet now). In a poll of the public conducted by New Scientist magazine to search out potential names for the object, "Rupert" ranked #5, and "Persephone" was the top choice.[3] The object was named Eris and designated a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union on 13 September 2006.[4]
Ursa Minor[edit]

I was thinking the same thing.

But to be original I suggest Loki.
