Well 2003 UB313 is just its provisional designation, or temporary name until it has been found to have a reliable orbit and has been given its official name.

My vote is for Persephone, or Shadow, then I can pretend Mal grew up there. (In the fictional world inside my head of course) I wonder who gets to make the final decision as to what the name is...the person who found the planet I suppose.

The IAU (International Astronomical Union) names stars, planets, asteroids, and other celestial bodies. They are also responsible for defining what the official classification of a planet is, to be stated sometime this september.

Persephone is Hades wife in Greek mythology, and since UB313 shares a similar orbit to Pluto they will name it after a deity of the underworld.

No, Persephone is clearly the dwelling place of our BDH's and Badger. Also where Mal got to stab Atherton Wing and where Kaylee got to wear her poofy dress. (No, but seriously) I wonder why they name planets after Greek mythology when they could give planets modern names, I guess they're just sticking with tradition. I wouldn't mind if it was called Jayne, that would be fun..."Look, you can see Jayne over on the horizon tonight" Well, if I pretended that any of these far away planets were close enough to see. Thanks for the information by the way, I feel like I'm getting a little lesson in astronomy.

1 Ceres is located at the outer edge of the main astroid belt between Mars and Jupiter

1 Ceres as of now is actually classified as an asteroid, but it is as much as an asteroid as Pluto is.

So according to that 1 Ceres isn't considered a planet(for now) but more a Planemo (planet-mass-object).
