My Proposed Name: Planet Funkenstein.
Did this story go completely unnoticed? Why am I the only one freaking out about this?? I also love that the url for this story on the NASA site includes the string: "planetx.htm". Sweet.

By the way, it's really not a big deal. Remember 'Sedna'? My point exactly.

Yeah... they are always discovering new maybe-planets and such. I think people have learned to be more cautious in their excitement. Also, did you know that astronomers often consider officially downgrading Pluto from planet status? And that there may well be a whole host of Kupier belt objects as big or bigger than our Planet X? What if they discover that there are, like, 20 more things out there bigger than Pluto. Are we supposed to get all excited about that? Are we gonna name them all?

Well, "Matt", the astronomers decided NOT to downgrade Pluto, and it seems to me that if they're not going to downgrade Pluto, though ought to include a planet that's like twice as large. It orbits the sun, it's freaking big, it's a goddamn planet. And as far as I can tell, there are no a priori limits on the number of plants. So screw you. NASA says so, and you don't mess around with God's America.
I like 14 and 17-20. Consider:
Geidi Prime
Jason
Freddy
Arakkis
The Big Johnson
Delores
The Planet that is Up with the Down Stroke
Dantooine
