Correction to my previous reply: there are no number designations for “Tilt’s Baby” or “Sputnik,” but they are mentioned in detail in the book.

In this case, this geyser has been observed for many years and, although I did not previously give it a number or name, I did mention it in my book (current edition, page 55 where I note [as I have done online] that it was incorrectly identified as Borah Peak Geyser in the early 2000s. It is because of the attention it is generating plus the fact that it is, perhaps, getting larger that I feel it deserves a number along with what appears to be an acceptable name. So yes: UNNG-GHG-14 ("Fandango Geyser").
