But it's taken, years ago, by a MINOR planet. ORCUS, a Greek name for the Afterlife is already taken by another really big KBO, 2000DW. Eurydice? Elysium? Minos? Hades? The Underworld names seems too negative for a happy object. They may all be taken by the 240,000 minor planets, some of whom are named for members of this List. Brown has been searching for years. I'll bet he long ago figured out a good name for the Whopper when he found it. We'll see.
