Hi Elizabeth:
The big problem with cerberus is that there is already 1865 Cerberus, an
Apollo asteroid. IAU Nomenclatur Committee tries to avoid duplication like
that though there are several existing examples.

Actually, one of the discoverers (Dr. Doug Hamilton, UMaryland) has a
preference for Cerberus...
Fits in with the mythology... and as the discoverers, Showalter and
Hamilton get to name it...
Clear Skies!
