Element 112 has no name yet, does not occur in nature, and it has no isotopes that last long enough to allow significant quantities to be accumulated. It is essentially a laboratory curiosity.
In July, 2009 the name "Copernicium" and symbol Cp were officially proposed by the group responsible for discovering the element. This initiates a 6-month review process before the name is officially recognized, so despite what you might read, element 112 has not been named yet, just provisionally named.

Poster sample.
This silhouette represents the unknown future namesake of element 112 in my Photographic Periodic Table Poster. At the time of printing in 2006 the element had not yet been discovered, or at least not officially named, but some day it will be, and chances are it will be named after a person, since all the places likely to be the site of its discovery already have elements named after them. The sample picture includes text exactly as it appears in the poster, which you are encouraged to buy a copy of.
