	Ten thousands of names of asteroids have been established in the past ~200 years. The WGSBN releases new names every three weeks in their bulletin. For asteroids, the discoverer(s) have a priority to suggest a name. They have to hand in a note on their reasons for their suggestion and the name suggestion needs to obey some rules (see guidelines). The decision is made by the members of WGSBN based on (electronic) voting.		Ten thousands of names of asteroids have been established in the past ~200 years.
