Since apparently there are asteroids called Okhotsymskij, Zdvyzhensk and Eyjafjallajokull. I think Potato is probably not at the top of the pronunciation worries, LOL.
Wikipedia calls it a "minor planet", but since even Pluto isn't a planet these days I'm guessing that's rather like calling Gaithersburg "North Potomac". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/88705_Potato

I did not know about Potato, I'll bet lots of time is spent on wondering how to pronounce it.
