My suggestions:
Vader and Tyrannus.
I figured if Mimas (a Saturnian moon) can be nicknamed "the Death Star" (for obvious physical reasons) there's no reason Sith names can't be officially used for unnamed moons.
Tyrannus is self-explanatory. Vader means "father" in Dutch. Fits in with the other devilish names of that planetary system's moons...
The astronomers pretty much ran out of well-known Greek/Roman names for many planetary bodies. Time to move onto alternate religious names and science fiction for name choices!
