Wouldn't we then confuse it with Pluto's moon? Imagine a family of poor future Solar system travellers realizing they got the tickets for the moon, not the planet.

Yeah but this aren't planets. We could always just reuse the name Pluto. Then all the old books are right again.

That’s Pluto erasure. Pluto isn’t a planet but it’s damn well part of our solar system.
