Depends on what you mean by "minor planet". This used to mean all bodies orbiting the Sun other than planets (of which there where 9) and satellites of planets (around 200). The new IAU definitions did away with the term "minor planet" and used the term "small solar system body" to refer to all the other things that are not planets (8), dwarf planets (3 and counting) or satellites. The IAU Minor Planet Center (note that it is still called such) maintains a database that includes about 700,000 designations, around 360,000 orbits, of which about 300,000 cover more than one opposition, including around 155,000 numbered objects, of which about 13,700 have names.

Mercury-1st
Venus-2nd
Earth-3rd
Mars-4th
Saturn-5th
Jupiter-6th
Uranus- 7th
Neptune- sometimes Neptune is 8th but sometimes it's 9th because the pathes of Neptune and Pluto cross eachother
Pluto- some scientists don't even think Pluto is a planet but if you count it it would be 8th or 9th from the Sun (look at Neptune for explaination)

Define "minor." FYI, there is no set definition of a minor planet, so there is no "correct" answer to your question.

Yes, I can. You asked if I can name them, you didn't ask me to name them for you.
