Very few of the Polynesian gods and goddesses are suitable for naming planets perpetually in the Kuiper Belt deep freeze; if we were still looking for planets inside Mercury (Trans Vulcan) we'd be in good shape. The only one that really seems appropriate is Poliahu, the goddess who rules the snow and ice atop Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. With global warming her role is shrinking; maybe she's a good choice for a minor planet!
