Xena, tell me it ain't so!

Persephone is the most frequently-suggested name for a tenth planet. The major planets are, by tradition, named after Greco-Roman gods; in Greco-Roman mythology Roman Pluto corresponds to Greek Hades, and Persephone is Hades' wife, held in the darkness of the underworld, hence hers is thought an appropriate name for the 10th planet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenth_planet

"Xena is about to undergo the worst case of global warming of any planet in the solar system," Brown said. "The change will be equivalent to Earth's heating up to an average temperature of 400 degrees - but then the cycle will repeat and Xena will get cold again." http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Xena_Poses_A_Bright_Mystery.html
