Nix - Pluto's satellite - How do they come up with these names? The IAU desired names to fit an "underworld mythological scheme". Do they work for the underworld? Also known as Hades, kingdom of darkness, hell, under the earth....

From the IAU website:

the names had to be picked from classical mythology, in particular with reference to the underworld — the realm where the souls of the deceased go in the afterlife.

This wording makes it look like there is no hope for the dead, as if they all go down and none can go up. If you turn to Jesus and receive his salvation, you can be free from going down into the pit.
