They have names, Sol and Luna. Of course those are just the Latin words for "sun" and "moon." Earth has the name Terra, and that's just the Latin word for "earth." Since other planets and moons are named for gods and goddesses, the moon should be called Diana, after the moon goddess--but who would want that? And Apollo was the sun god, or at least his chariot pulled it across the sky every day. What would be the point?

What is wrong with sun and moon anyway? How about Sonny and Verna?
