Stan Gibilisco (1 August 1985). Comets, meteors & asteroids--how they affect Earth. Tab Books. p. 76. ISBN 978-0-8306-1905-4. Retrieved 19 December 2012. What if two or more different people discover the same comet at about the same time? This problem is solved by allowing a comet to bear as many as three names. The names are separated by hyphens. Thus we have had comets such as Ikeya-Seki and Arend-Roland. It has been decided that more than three names would be ridiculous and cumbersome. Therefore, we do not hear of comets such as Jones-Smith-James-Olson-Walters-Peterson-Garcia-Welch!

Machholz (1989), "Comet corner", Journal of the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers, 33 (1), Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers (U.S.): 25–28, 26, Bibcode:1989JALPO..33...25M, A hyphen (-) is used in a comet's name only to separate the discoverers. Thus, when sometimes the discover has a double name, the hyphen is dropped from the comet's name in order to show that there was only one discoverer. For example, in 1986 Stephen Singer-Brewster discovered a comet. It is known as "Comet Singer Brewster."

The assignment of "H" for Mercury is specified by the "USGS Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature".; since the USGS usually closely follows IAU guidelines, this is very likely the IAU convention, but confirmation is needed.
