Sorry but I can't see any connection to naming the 10th Planet in that story. Pluto is the 9th Planet.
But it would be interesting if they named 2003UB
313 (the 10th Planet ) in order with the others from the table of elements.
Uranium - after Uranus
Neptunium - after Neptune
Plutonium - after Pluto
The next one on the list is Americium. Does that mean they might try call the 10th Planet 'Americo' or 'Americus'? Geez I hope not!
The next element after Americium is 'Curium' I hope they don't use that one either. 'Curious' or 'Curio'.
Not exactly 'Planet' sounding names are they
