Call them DOLPHINS (not "dwarf planets")

they are out beyond and around Neptune
and old paintings of the god Neptune often have dolphins cavorting around.
so call them Dolphins
and that makes Pluto the first Dolphin to be discovered
and Sedna and Xena are recently discovered Dolphins


other suggestions?
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
Would they be bottle-nosed or northern rightwhale? Okay, let the International Marine Taxonomy Society decide on that one!
 
What's the water-speed velocity of an unladen dolphin?
 
I prefer 'plutonians' myself

as in " the Gqral'tak'k Horde has positioned void-fighter bases on three of the Damodrind system's outer plutonians " (^ o ^)

we already call gas giants jovians- why not keep it consistent?
