I have changed the names. Thanks for the update. I'd heard about the name change for Haumea, but somehow managed to forget that I'd made a game on this topic...

And now it's time to rename 2005 FY9 "Easterbunny" and 2003 EL61 "Santa" as "Makemake" and "Haumea" respectively.

It's 'Quaoar', not 'Quaor'. What is it about multiple vowels that causes some people problems? ;-)
