Any clue as to when the fourth and fifth Plutonian moons will be given names?

These are tiny objects. They may not get names.
If they do get names then it may well be announced in May.
The v5th moon was only found last year.

Any further moons that are found will be smaller still. The tiny moons of Jupiter and Saturn are not named.

In January 2015 New Horizons will start taking photos of Pluto (while sti8ll 6 months away from the closest approach.

That set of photos will try to find additional moons and to see if Pluto has a ring system.
