They may be running low on names from greek mythology, they've named a lot of stuff out there so i wouldn't doubt it. But yea i was wondering the same thing. I was expecting them to come out and say that this planet is actually sedna, and they're just now getting around to making it official.. i guess that isn't the case. The thing about Sedna is that i heard it was SMALLER than pluto (slighty, but still smaller) and some people don't even like to consider pluto a planet because its so small. (technically pluto is a dual "planet" because the moon is almost as big as the planet itself.)
Anyway, if it were up to me i'd add sedna and this new one and bump the # of planets to 11.
Personally im anxious for them to name it cuz I like to make Starcraft Broodwar maps around new discoveries (yea yea.. im a dork). Here's my Sedna map for broodwar if anyone wants to give it a look

Edit: Now that i think about it.. hmm.. Planet Xena.. Planet X.. think they're trying to hint at something? Weren't people worried that planet X was supposed to "return" in 2004 and bring doom to us all? I guess it's a little late
