No name that I know of yet. The new planets are usually designated with the System they are in and their position in that system (or sometimes the order they were discovered)
So my guess is 55 Cancri 4 (or d or f)

Ranked fourth from 55 Cancri, the latest planet is about 45 times the mass of Earth and has an orbit of 260 days. It was detected after nearly two decades of observations by ground-based telescopes using the Doppler technique that measures a planet's stellar wobble.

They did not name the planet yet. It is orbiting the nearby star 55 Cancri.

That article was about 150-200 words long, for crying out loud. If you don't have time to read an article that short then I really do feel sorry for you.

You are pathetic!
Can you say,
"Do you want fries with that?"
I hope so, because you will be saying that a whole lot in your lifetime.
