Vulcan, in honor of Gene Rodenberry, Star Trek's creator.
Vulcan, as we Trekkies all know, is the homeworld of Mr. Spock, Science Officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
Live Long and Prosper.

If it's in the Solar System, I propose naming it Baiame, the God of the Australian aborigines. Since Baiame was also the God of Death, it fits the naming convention of these worlds being underworld gods.
