Actually, the official name still includes Pluto - it is "134340 Pluto". Of course, you can continue naming it Pluto - anyone would recognize that.

Prefacing a number sort of makes sense, once it is considered an asteroid or something - for instance, Ceres is called "1 Ceres".
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
