FWIW - those are just joke names being used by the discoverers, until
they get proper ones! Which will probably be quite a while, the way the
IAU moves. Especially as they have to decide whether it counts as a
planet or not (it's bigger than Pluto, so you'd think so - but then
there's the question of whether or not Pluto is 'really' a planet...)
