I think the vote is a great idea. I went with Persephone and Cerebus because both were mythological beings and denizens of Hades, rather than regions or geographical features. Of course, some of the other names are also beings of the myth, but I felt these two had precedent as being both more significant and more or less permanent members of Pluto's court (okay, Persephone only for half the year). I did like Orpheus and Eurydice as choices, but perhaps those names fit spacecraft that might journey (and potentially return) there rather than moons. (I'm also glad no jokester included Mickey, Minnie or Donald. Astronomy has standards.) |

I'm an Orpheus/Eurydice fan, myself. |

Mickey and Minnie. Anything else is silly. |

I'd go for Lethe and Hypnos. Orpheus, Eurydice and Persephone are too pretty to name frozen chunks of ice. |
