I watched a video last night in which they think planet 9; a half of Uranus/Neptune sized ice giant is lurking keying the Kuiper belt snd is located near Orion’s bow currently. This is due to the peculiar inclined and eccentric orbits of scattered disc objects like Sedna. Astronomers believe it will be discovered in the next 10-20 years but is difficult due to how far and dim it is. Which brings us to this question... what would you name this dark giant world?
I would go with something like Minerva/Athena after the Greco-Roman goddess of wisdom. Because finding this planet requires a lot of smarts to hunt it down. Any moons could be named for famous scientists to fit this theme (Aristotle, Einstein, Newton, Copernicus, Galileo etc.) It fits the pattern of using Greco-Roman names and reflects something about the planet like all others have followed
Mercury- fast
Venus- beautiful
Mars- bloody
Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus Big, the king. Followed by his dad and grandpa
Neptune- dark blue like the sea
Pluto- dark and cold
Eris- (once considered planet 10). Chaos and discord
