One side regards the A / B convention of naming binary stars as having priority, so that the pulsar is PSR B1620-26 A, the white dwarf companion is PSR B1620-26 B and the planet is PSR B1620-26 c. The other side considers PSR to only apply to stars which are pulsars, not their companions, so the white dwarf should be named using the WD convention, making the pulsar PSR B1620-26, the white dwarf " WD J1623-266 ", and the planet " PSR B1620-26 b. " Early articles used the first convention, but star catalogs have been using the second.

In 2000, the millisecond pulsar PSR B1620-26 was found to have a circumbinary planet ( PSR B1620-26 b ) that orbits both it and its companion white dwarf, WD B1620-26.

It is currently believed to have originally been the planet of WD B1620-26 before becoming a circumbinary planet, and therefore, while discovered through the pulsar timing method, it did not form the way that PSR B1257 + 12's planets are thought to have.
