Wouldn't we then confuse it with Pluto's moon? Imagine a family of poor future Solar system travellers realizing they got the tickets for the moon, not the planet.
Isn't Pluto's moon Charon?
pluto has more than one moon ;)
Yeah but this aren't planets. We could always just reuse the name Pluto. Then all the old books are right again.
That’s Pluto erasure. Pluto isn’t a planet but it’s damn well part of our solar system.
Kerberos and Cerberus while referencing the same thing are spelled differently.
