    I dont think they Have names yet, I looked it up and there is nothing on it... but isnt it interesting how the Volcanoe may be erupting Methane CH4. They are saying they are Ice Volcanoes.. if they have any name I think at least one may be named after Christophe Sotin and his colleagues whom saw the Ice Volcanoes first.

    Heres a satalite image of the Ice Volcanoe Erupting, click on the image it will show four pics and bit clearer as well :)

    No, none of the cryovolcanoes on Titan have been named yet; but, they are fascinating.

    I don't think we know enough about them yet to start naming them.

    New observations by the Cassini spacecraft and ground-based telescopes have focused on trying to understand the peculiar patterns of clouds on Titan. Scientists Suspect that haze over Titan is from erupting Geysers or Volcanoes. Thus astronomers think they have come upon an explanation for how Titan sustains an atmosphere rich in methane. It is still not known what they exactly are thus having not been named yet.
