If it has a moon will they call it Gabrielle?

If I ever discover a planet I am going to name it "That Banjo Guy From 'Deliverence' "....

Thanks for the link, it was interesting but mostly about semantics... I think the debate over what we call 'planets' is rather silly- they are what they are... doesnt matter what we call them...

If we decide these objects are not 'planets' then we will have to come up with some other term that refers to "the group of massive objects that orbit the sun" that includes 'planets' and objects like Xena and Pluto
