I bet it is cold as hell out there. I would name it Planet Ice Nine. Pay homage to Vonnegut and inject some satire into astronomy.

If it's found under Trump's watch, I think planet covfefe would be fitting.

I'm torn.  I'd like it to be called 'Captain' (Captain Planet), but something more sober and reflective would probably be best, so...'Buzz'?

We should revive the Roman punishment of damnatio memoriae instead.

That's a great idea!  Think Maybe we could send him out there to christen it.

I got a better idea!
Let's send him out there now so by the time we find it, he can lay claim to it first.

We don't want the Russians getting involved!

Even better! He can carry a stealth Russian flag in his pocket so that the extra weigh causes an ever-so-slight deviation in his trajectory that he'll collide with Voyager 2 in, say, 100k Years. Thumb up
