I couldn't find an actual 'article' about it on a news page but I've noticed they've now officially Named Xena and Gabrielle (They should have just kept those two names): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/136199_Eris#_note-IAUPressRelease2006

Eris and Dysnomia. The Greek goddess of discord and a Greek word meaning "lawlessness". Fitting, somehow.

Eris and Dysnomia? or Xena and Gabrielle?

So they went from a greek character played by Lawless, to a greek word meaning lawless. Is there a theme here?

Eris and Dysnomia, because Eris' discovery is pretty much what brought about the chaos that eventually changed our planetary classification system.

And a minor correction: According to space.com, Dysnomia is the daughter of Eris and is known as the spirit of lawlessness.

Oh well that's just great. Now all the smugglers and bounty hunters will claim Dysnomia. Everybody steps in, administration steps in and there's no exclusive rights for anybody, nobody wins!

B.J., I thought you were smarter than this.

Only if they find a ring system and name it Shakra.

There is if Mike Brown's website is any indication.

Anyway, good names. Siegfried very nearly called it in the old thread; his only folly was picking the Latin rather than the Greek form.
