Hail Eris!

A much better name for the dwarf planet that's caused Pluto to be demoted.

Yes - certainly better than Xena. That could have led to a new dwarf planet being called Buffy at some point.

The moon's name 'Dysnomia' just sounds so much like a medical condition associated with having a bad name.
