The usual answer is "comets," although in a technical sense, the bodies aren't comets while they're still in the Oort Cloud, but only become so when they fall toward the Sun. The word "comet" means "hairy" and refers to the dust blown off the body by the solar wind. While still in the Oort Cloud, they should really be called "planetismals."
