Nah...let's go with Dopey because of the "Dwarf Planet" odd orbital pattern.  PEACE!

Answer 2

No.  Stop smoking that stuff, it kills brain cells.

Answer 3

I also agree! 2 thumbs up, all the way :)

Answer 4

If we're going to use Disney-esque names like Pluto, Dopey and Bashful, couldn't we be a bit more creative?

How about naming it after its discoverer, Tombaugh? Or Clyde?

Have fun!

International Astronomical Union,the responsible body changed the dwarf palnet to Plutoids.Now there are two plutoids in the list.Pluto and Eris.

Answer 8

They changed its classification from "dwarf planet", to "Plutoid".  Pluto is the first in its class of plutoids.
