Originally set to be the tenth planet from the Sun, Eris's discovery in 2003 led to the ousting of Pluto. Eris (EE-ris) is named after the Greek Goddess of discord and strife, who started a dispute that led to the Trojan war because she was not invited to a wedding. Eris is now the 3rd dwarf planet from the Sun. Three times as far outside Pluto and slightly larger, Eris also has a moon, Dysnomia.
1. Eris was named 2003 UB313 until its classification.
2. Eris was named so because its discovery caused much strife and discord.

Get the Eris mug.Strong willed and will not back down when she knows what's right. She's unafraid of conflict when passionately defending her stance. She is friendly to all and keeps many allies. However, she is not one to willingly jump on the bandwagon. She will make up her own mind and passionately stand behind her ideas.
Anyone sharing the name "Ericka", will somehow realize that her destiny was meant to be somewhat different from the "Erica" and even "Erika" that exists.
She will rarely find a keychain with her name upon it. She will find that while she has such an average name, it is far from average. She will spell it out many times when talking to any school teacher, and eventually,almost any agency on the phone.
However, what she will find is that she will be different in a brilliant way. A person named Ericka will be determined to prove themselves. She will be succesful and hard-working, always striving to be the best. If nothing else, the constant need to spell her name right will determine her patience and tolerance for others. Nonetheless, Erickas will be patient and understanding people, always loving to others.
In life, eventually a person named "Ericka" will find themselves in a position of leadsership. Some will embrace this, some may not. This, in the end, depends on the personality, not the name.
