In the interim, I'd like to suggest we refer to it as 'Bob'.

Since the IAU haven't defined extra-solar bodies, it can't formally be called a planet. It could a a Dwarf or even a small extra-solar system body.
Hard to say something three times bigger than our largest planet is too small to be called a planet.The planet has a minimum mass of 2.9 Jupiters
