 Pluto now has official names for some of its places.  I'm thrilled with how multicultural they are.  There's only one female, but that's better than nothing.

And don't forget Pluto's largest moon, Charon, named for the ferryman who carried dead souls over the river Styx (or Acheron) to the underworld, Pluto's realm.

The name is Greek, so the "Ch" is pronounced like a "k", as in "chronic" or "chaos".
