Summary: Recently discovered moons of Pluto are currently undergoing the naming process. There has been a public vote that will be taken into account when the official name is chosen. The current leader in the poll is Vulcan, the name of Spock's home planet in the popular "Star Trek" series. The vote for this name is being lead by William Shatner who played Captain Kirk in the same show.
Personally, I am keeping my fingers crossed and am very hopeful that it will be chosen.
