2007 OR10 is a little smaller than Pluto, famously downgraded to a dwarf planet, which is why it's referred to as a "minor planet," Live Science explains. Along with Pluto, it's among the 10 largest objects in the Kuiper Belt region of the solar system. 2007 OR10 is likely made up of ice and rock, and its surface is a deep red color, two details that helped inspire the naming possibilities.
