Proposed names should be:

16 characters or less in length (including any spaces or punctuation)

preferably one word

pronounceable (in some language)

non-offensive

not too similar to an existing name of a minor planet or natural planetary satellite

Names for persons or events known primarily for their military or political activities are acceptable only after 100 years elapsed since the person died or the event occurred.

Names of pet animals are discouraged.

I never thought to use asteroid TARDIS (3325), until now .

It was named after the TARDIS from Dr Who, the time travel vehicle used to transport occupants to any point in time and any place in the universe.

Popular term "TARDIS-like" has been used to describe anything that seems to be bigger on the inside than on the outside. That could be a start for interpretation.

But I looked it up and stopped at the first link which indicates otherwise: http://gneissmoonastrology.net/tag/asteroid-3325-tardis/
and found this (don't know if it is true or not)...

Now for how to read TARDIS in your chart…

TARDIS was conjunct Saturn ( rules time, of course ! ) in Scorpio when it was discovered – in a sky full of retrogrades - 7 retrogrades ! That is rare.
Venus was direct, everything else was retrograde. (Sun and Moon do not retrograde.)
May 3, 1984 Flagstaff, AZ, USA if you want to look it up.

Read TARDIS a bit like a retrograde…it is a place where you and time slow.
It is where you study and research the energies - learn how to work the mysteries and direct them in innovative ways.

TARDIS is where there is more to the energies than it first appears - like a retrograde, the energy is turned inward (think Plutonic regeneration) until it is honed, sharpened into a unique talent.

TARDIS is where you are cunning and clever, where you manifest BRILLIANT escape routes from difficult situations.

TARDIS is where you defend and protect the universal welfare of others.

TARDIS is where slow, steady, study and inventive thinking will metamorphose into your greatest genius talent - your escape hatch - and your eventual rebirth.

TARDIS
1) Acronym for Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Spaceship owned by the Doctor from Dr.Who, with the ability to travel through space and time. Takes the form of a 1950's British police box, although this is merely because the camouflage unit is malfunctioning. The TARDIS is also a lot bigger on the inside than on the outside, theoretically, it can be infinite in size.

2) A woman who sleeps around; who is "Bigger on the inside than on the outside"
"It's called the Tardis . . . . it can travel anywhere in time and space . . . . and it's mine!"

Do I really seem that narcisstic? No, I wouldn't. Besides, all my names are covered already ^^

Actually they do.

Philemon and Baucis

A kindly, elderly couple from Phrygia who entertained and comforted strangers even though they themselves were impoverished. One set of "bums" were impressed and decided to reward the couple; indeed, the strangers could, for it was Zeus and Hermes, who had been treated rudely in their previous encounters with mortals. A grand palace was created for the kindly couple, and the gods granted their wish that they should die at the same moment. Both were transformed into trees: Philemon the oak and Baucis the lime; their boughs were entertwined, symbolizing their everlasting love.

There is asteroid Baucis and I bet she feels lonely.
