Why does it not have a name? edit

So, why does it not have a name? It has an orbit that has been observed for over 85 years. Autkm (talk) 01:32, 8 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Because nobody has yet felt like giving it one. The well-determined orbit only determines whether an asteroid is numbered, which this is. Double sharp (talk) 04:59, 14 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Is there a way to submit name suggestions? Or do you have to be a professional astronomer that has some connection to the object itself? I'd happily give it a go... 209.93.141.17 (talk) 11:58, 16 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Well, it was named in May 2021. Double sharp (talk) 09:40, 13 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
