****There are other examples of a "moon of X" later having "X" identified as a separate object ([[Kudo III|third moon of Kudo]] and [[Kudo]], [[moon of Drazkel]] and [[Drazkel]]). However, even though cases like that often have planets of the same name, I don't think we should extrapolate it to be true for cases where a planet is not specifically identified.

*****There's also in-universe precedent for moons named after planets where the planet no longer exists or never existed; the [[Endor/Legends|Forest Moon of Endor]] was said in some Legends sources to have been been without a primary, because the [[Endor (planet)/Legends|planet Endor]] had been destroyed in a mysterious cataclysm. Even though that was retconned as a bizarre hoax, it's proof that at least conceptually a moon can exist without a planet.
