I have it on good authority that #2002UX25 had a proper name submitted in July. Hopefully the WGSBN announces it in their next bulletin.
Chiminigagua is the creator of light and the world of the Muisca people that inhabit the Andes mountains in the central part of Colombia. Before Chiminigagua, there was only darkness.
The largest unnamed object in our solar system #2013FY27 is now named #Chiminigagua Which means the 15 largest Tno/Dwarf Planets all have names!
This leaves #2004GV9 as the largest measured and unnamed object.

Congrats to to the following Dwarf Planets to be given names:
#2002Aw197 - is now #Aya
#2002Ms4 - is now #Mani
#2003Az84 - is now #Achlys
#2005Rn43 - is now #Ritona

There are now 21 Dwarf Planets with Proper Names!

@astrokiwi - With the recent rash of potential Dwarf Planet candidates being given proper names. 4 in the last 30 days. Is a name forthcoming soon for 2015 RR245? Crossing fingers!
How about Quaoar having rings?
