Exoplanet Names 2

[[Title: Exoplanet names 2]] NASA has announced the discovery of a (super)earth sized planet in the habitable zone of a sun-like star. I suggest we name this planet "pluto", both to celebrate the great work by the new horizons team, and to make the stupid "is pluto a planet" debate a little more confusing. While we wait to hear from the IAU, here's a revised and updated list of planet name suggestions, see xkcd.com 1253 [[Full explanation & dissection & transcription available http: www.explainxkcd.com wiki index.php 1555 ]] {{Title text: I'm going to drive this Netherlands joke so far into the ground they'll have to build levees around it to keep the sea out.}}
