HD 164604 b is named Caleuche. The name was selected in the NameExoWorlds campaign by Chile, during the 100th anniversary of the IAU. Caleuche is a large ghost ship from southern Chilean mythology which sails the seas around the island of Chiloé at night.[4][5]
An astrometric measurement of the planet's inclination and true mass was published in 2022 as part of Gaia DR3.[1]
