The name of the dwarf planet Pluto is originally masculine inanimate, but can be used also in neuter gender. In this particular case the choice of the gender does not influence the declension of the name itself, but it influences the declension of accompanying determiners and adjectives or conjugation of verbs in the sentence – see for example the sentence in masculine gender "Pluto byl objeven" or in neuter gender "Pluto bylo objeveno" (Pluto was discovered).

Plutoni status planetae abiudicatus est a congressu astronomico mundano, qui Pragam convenerat. Astronomi enim noluerunt alia corpora caelestia, quorum aliquot maiora sunt Plutone quaeque extra orbitam eius solem circumeunt, in planetarum numerum asciscere.
Pluto's status as a planet was rejected by the World Astronomical Congress, which met in Prague. Astronomers were unwilling to include other celestial bodies, some of which are larger than Pluto and which orbit the Sun outside its orbit, in the number of planets.
Referred exclusively to the deity, not the dwarf planet; Pluto (the dwarf planet) had not yet been discovered. Equivalent applies, of course, in the relevant language(s), for names like Eris, Haumea, Makemake, or Sedna.
