Now we can have Vulcan in our very own solar system.  Shatner and Nimoy are promoting this.

I'd have to say no.  It seems odd to name something so far away from the sun for the god of the forge.  Since two of Pluto's three previously known moons are named for Charon and Nyx, I'd rather keep with the theme of naming its moons for mythical characters associated with Pluto/Hades and the underworld.

Vulcan should be hot or at the very least a mineral rich place.

Ok, how about Andoria?  Or Exo III?

And the results are in!  Vulcan had by far the most votes, and I'm guessing the other moon will be named after Cerberus.  It's up to the selection committee, of course, but I suspect there will be a riot if Vulcan is rejected!
