Claudine, Do you mean what are the names we on earth give all the moons in the Solar System? i.e. allowing for the possibility of their having inhabitants giving them alternative names? (Like the French calling London Londres but the inhabitants calling it London?)
If so, it is a very long answer but:
Mercury: 0
Venus: 0
Earth: 1
Mars: 2
Jupiter: 63
Saturn: 56
Uranus: 27
Neptune: 13
Total: 162 planetary moons,
There are, in addition, some 80 known moons of minor planets and asteroids, including Pluto which has 3 (Charon, Hydra and Nyx) and Eris which has 1 (Dysnomia) and the asteroid 87 Sylvia which has 2 (Romulus and Remus).
With their orbital periods, the 162 are as follows (In order outwards from the planet):

There's only one moon. It has many names depending on what culture you ask. But it is popularly known as The Moon, Luna, or Diana.

The very ancient greek name for the moon is 'mene'. The latin name of moon is "luna". Long before english came into play and then we called it "moon".
