Help name an unnamed world in our solar system .

mumsie

We have a dwarf planet in our solar system without a proper name.

It's currently known as 2007 OR10 .

A group of astronomers have decided to give it a name

They have narrowed the choices down to three name choices..

Holle
Vili
Gonggong

And they have opened up a vote for the public to choose it's name (clicky) . scroll down a bit to vote. Cast your vote by 11:59 pm PDT on May 10,2019

Holle seems too close to the word Hole which doesn’t suit a planet really 😊
Gonggong is too close to dogging, which would be as daft as naming a planet Uranus ( who would do that)
Which leaves Sean’s choice.. Aren’t they asking the public for names? That always works out well. 😊

I've gone for Vili, for Nordic and intestinal reasons.
