You can choose to name the moon only, or the moon along with the gas giant, or name the moon, the gas giant, and the other two moons in the picture if you've got a theme going (Curly, Larry, Moe, Shimp?). Good sources for names could be mythology (Persephone), literature (Ariel), places (New Melbourne), cool-sounding words (Shadow), cool-sounding words in other languages (Jiangyin), or stuff you just made up (Londinum, Beaumonde, Silverhold).
The person to come up with the spiffiest name(s) will get 5 AP and bragging rights. You can submit as many names as you want, so long as they don't suck.
P.S. I should add that the final decision as to the winning name will be made by someone that's not me, so this shouldn't be a mind-reading contest to intuit the sort of name I would like. Really. Have fun.

The three moons.
Avalon

And the Gas Giant.
Olympus.
The three moons give me an interesting idea. Hindu mythology says that our trinity stems from a greater power that is only known as Energy--the energy pervading the universe and from which life was created.
To that end, I've modified some Indian mythological names. You might recognize them:
Gas Giant: Shakti. Or Parmatma.
Moons: Bramava (From Brahma)
Vishnava (From Vishnu)
Maheshava (from Maheshwar); or Shiva.
