No new planets have been discovered beyond Pluto. Now even Pluto is officially not considered a planet anymore. It was demoted.
A few Kuiper belt objects have been discovered recently though. Being "2003 UB313" the largest one so far.

The planet beyond Pluto is officially classed as a "Dwarf Planet" along with ceres (in between mars and jupiter), Pluto, and the planet you wish to know about UB313 nicknamed "Xena"
To conclude, the planet is called UB313
EDIT: Above i noticed that someone said Charon, in actual fact Charon is a moon of pluto however it is rather large compared to Pluto and sometimes considered to be "twins" since charon does not spin on its axis as it orbits.

There was one that was only a number. Don't remember the number, but it didn't have a name. At least then.
