The dwarf planet Eris was known as Xena by the team that discovered it's existence. This name was used informally by the team and the media. An official name would have to have a name from creation mythology according to IAU standards. The name "Persephone" has also been considered (it would have been fitting next to Pluto) but it is already the name of an asteroid.
