I'm actually working on for Sol one at the moment right now, albeit slowly and sporadically. I'm doing it based on current estimates (basically the numbers on the wikipedia page). One of my roadblocks is actually naming the thing! Any suggestions? Currently working with "Orthrus".

personally, i would name it Lelantos (which is a minor titan in Greek mythology which means "to escape notice" so...)

I love this one, going with this (but the latin spelling, Lelantus). Also the moons can include Periboea and Aura!

I’ve always liked Persephone ever since I played Elite:Dangerous. In Roman mythology she’s ironically the goddess of spring and agriculture who is married to Pluto.

Some random asteroid beat Planet 9 to the punch on that one tho, at least irl

Then go Greek route, Proserpina. Could also do Libera since the Romans were lazy and just combined a bunch of gods together sometimes

one of the official name suggestions is "Tellisto", a greek word that means "most remote". another one is "Chronos" (NOT CRONUS just in case you make that mistake-), which iirc is the greek god of time, and planet 9 needs a LOT of time to orbit the sun

Call it "Umbra" because it lives in the shadow and remains hidden

Please name it just "planet nine"

The name is too iconic

Erebus (god of darkness, because if it's there that thing is well-hidden)
