Talk:524522 Zoozve

Name

I thought of a good name for 2002 VE₆₈. 498663 Suadela, named after Suadela (goddess of romance, associated with Venus). I was thinking of Neith, but an asteroid already has that name. The reason I chose Venus-related goddes is because this is as close as were going to get to a Venusian moon. — Hurricane Devon ( Talk ) 18:26, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Another proposed name exists as described in the 2024-Jan-26 Radiolab podcast episode. Zoozve is based on a mis-reading of the original name 2002 VE. Iggynelix (talk) 20:51, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

@Iseult: It seems entirely appropriate to me mention "Zoozve" and the Radiolab episode in the context of the name of the object. There's no need to entirely remove mention of the mispelling. Something like "Alex Foster mis-spelled the provisional designation '2002 VE' as 'Zoozve' on a poster", and then cite the Radiolab episode. The idea is not to make a claim that "Zoozve" is currently (or will be) the name of the object, just that the misspelling is an interesting aspect of non-techical coverage of 2002 VE68 and quasi-moons.
