It's political correctness gone amok, I tell you!
First, they want to call something massively-challanged a planet rather than a fuzzy ball of ice-dust, and then on top of that, they throw out the convention of using ROMAN gods and goddesses and name it after an Intuit!!

Go figger.

Well, they have mostly run out of those and the discoverer is free to name an astronomical body after what they want, if you found it you could call it Tanniker Smith III
