On January 16, 2014, (174567) 2003 MW12 was oficially named (174567) Varda.

"I don't want to live in a society that does these sort of things … I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded. That is not something I am willing to support or live under." (Edward Snowden; The Guardian, 9 June 2013)
