How many more dwarf planets can be named after deities?

Hi,

A dwarf planet discovered in 2005 has now got a name,

how many more do you think are out there? I am betting a lot.

Hundreds, perhaps thousands.

Hundreds, perhaps thousands.

Presumably the limiting factor is the number of deities to name them after - the IAU is going to have to start funding reaseach theologians to discover more Small Gods.

So you're saying that they will cease at their attempts to discover more of these dwarf planets once all the god-like names have been taken?
