Triton is retrograde with regard to Neptune. Jupiter and Uranus have moons some of which are retrograde and some direct. It's difficult to imagine retrograde bodies in the asteroid or De Kuyper belts having lasted until now.

I think the Russians missed an opportunity when they reverted the name of their second city from Leningrad to St. Petersburg. They should have called it Retrograd.
