M87*? Powehi? There are no rules on naming black holes
"The same day the photograph of the black hole was unveiled, the IAU asked the public to choose one of three names for an object astronomers call 2007 OR10. It is an icy planetesimal that circles the sun but gets 100 times farther from our star than Earth does.
The three proposed names are Gonggong, a Chinese water god with red hair and a serpent tail; Holle, a European winter goddess of fertility; and Vili, a Nordic deity and brother of Odin.
The IAU is trying to bring in more languages and cultures into the naming game, Pasachoff and Fienberg said. And soon the IAU will ask the public to help name 100 planets outside our solar system.
As astronomers gaze farther into the cosmos, Pasachoff said, “we will need more names.”
