Does it have to orbit at the back of the solar system?

It does need a better name. I wonder if you got a French speaker to pronounce TrES-2b whether they could make it sound like Tres toubee' or something.

There is a debate in physics about whether the hypothesised cloud of dark matter surrounding our galaxy is in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles or Massive Astrophysical Compact Halo Objects. Yup, WIMPs Vs MACHOs.

Science is mostly serious, but it seems you are allowed to have fun with the naming.
