In recent months, I'm beginning to wonder if anyone but me cares about naming. I know 2003 UB313 got a name fairly quickly, but what about 2005 FY9, announced at the same time? Why is it that 2002 TX300 and 2002 AW197 remain unnamed, despite being fairly large and known about for a few years? Does anyone have any info on this?

Also, does anyone have info on the satellite of Orcus?
