Almost 200 found! Only one or two have noun names (aside from primary star name with subscript "b", "c", etc).
200 but I don't know the names of the others though, France just launched a satellite named COROTto discover more planets so I'm sure ther'ell be more discoveries to come yet in the near future.Stay Tuned
