Nix and Hydra

NIX AND HYDRA: The International Astronomical Union (IAU) announced today that Pluto's new moons, formerly known as S/2005 P1 and S/2005 P2, will henceforth be called Nyx and Hydra. In Greek mythology, Nyx is the goddess of night while Hydra is a terrifying serpent with nine heads. These seem like good companions for Pluto, ninth planet and Roman god of the Underworld

Nix and Hydra, bit different to what I thought it would be.
