What are we going to name it when it is found?

I trust we really don't want "Planet Nine" (if we do, we should rename Earth to "Planet 3"), let alone "Planet X". Any better ideas?

If Mike Brown finds it, he'll jump all over naming it, and I'm sure that's part of his motivation for hunting it so doggedly. He's like that.
