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." Go to the journal search in the Astrophysics Data System, pick "Journal of the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers", volume "33", page "26". It's not in the list of abstracts, you have to check the page thumbnails.

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.
