Has 2007OR10 been given a name yet?
It just seems as if it should have a common name, since it is in the same category as other dwarf planet "probables" like Orcus, Quaoar, and Sedna.

Well, it has an official provisional name 2007 OR10, a catalog number (225088), and an unofficial name (Snow White), but the IAU hasn't got around to giving it an official name. Apparently it is the largest body in the Solar System without an official name. Because of the rate at which bodies are being discovered, the IAU is way behind in assigning names.

At first glance, 2007 looks like a calendar year
10 looks like metric, or the number of fingers on two hands.
