Hey kids! New Horizons needs YOUR help!

Newly-discovered Kuiper Belt Objects ain't gonna name themselves!

At least...if they did...that would be spooky and weird.

I hope they're ready for this. People are terrible at naming

I'd find it was really interesting and exciting!

... if we ever deciphered how, exactly, they did so!

Dollars to donuts they've seeded a few acceptable names or have some other fall-back plan.

EDIT: and, yeah: if they did not have some sort of plan (other than filtering), this can all only end in tears.

If there isn't one named yuggoth I will be sorely disappointed.

I thought about contributing that myself, but this particular body is A) small, and B) quite possibly a set of 'twins,' so it wouldn't work great. Best to save that for something we find later.

I don't need any help, don't listen to those NASA goons! I can name things just fine on my own!

Let's see, I'm gonna call you Apflap, and you Znordorfer, and you Gwinston, and....
