2003UB313. Although its still not officially a "planet". Neither is Pluto for that matter. From what I know UB313 is an educated assumption made because of a variance in Pluto's orbit. In other words something is causing Pluto to "move" a certain way along its orbit. It would definately take a large celestial object to cause this to happen but Im not sure if it has definately been determined that its a planet

The point is not what's its name is but that Ancient Greeks had discovered him 3000 years ago and Nasa only three years ago!!
As far as i know the planet exists theoritically speaking. Because of the diversion of PLuto's orbit. Its "possible" name is 2003UB313.

Not sure if they have named it yet. I am sure they think it is part of the Kuiper Belt, although there is even speculation that Pluto isn't even a planet, some think it is just a part of the debris in the Kuiper Belt.

Currently known as 2003UB313 but they have thought to call it 'Xena' or 'Lila'. But it is still not officially named.
