even Goofy...
Goofy, a humanoid cartoon Dog, has a canine cartoon
Dog, Pluto, as a pet. You know, even when I was a kid,
that bothered me. How can Pluto (the planet) have Goofy
(the satellite) as a moon? That's just piling one craziness
on top of another. Goofy is not a mythological name, as
required; the idea is just... goofy. Since the new satellite
is a 3-pixel blob, why not just call it Spot?
I respect the right of discoverers to name the object (by
changing the name slightly as was done with Nyx=>Nix
One should bear in mind that there may well be many
more moons of Pluto waiting to be discovered. Thankfully
that list of the offspring of Nix (Nyx) is very long. Here it is:
AEthyr, Hemera, Momus, Moros, Oizys, Geras, Thanatos,
Hypnos, Charon, Apate, Philotes, Eris, Morphius, Epiales,
Icelus, Phobetor, Aegle, Arethusa, Erytheia, Hesperia,
Lipara, Asterope, Chrysothemis, Klotho, Lakhesis, Atropos...
Bring on the Moons!

How should S/2011 (134340) 1 be called? Any suggestions...
I took a look at Wiki and saw names like Fifi, Dinah and even Goofy.
Might work.
