The names of the moons, Deimos for the outer moon, and Phobos for the inner, were suggested to Hall by Henry Madan, a teacher at Eton College, using Book XV of the Iliad as his source:

Mars smote his two sturdy thighs with the flat of his hands, and said in anger, ‘Do not blame me, you gods that dwell in heaven, if I go to the ships of the Achaeans and avenge the death of my son, even though it end in my being struck by Jove’s lightning and lying in blood and dust among the corpses.’ As he spoke he gave orders to yoke his horses Panic and Terror, while he put on his armour.
