Meant to post this a few days ago, but it slipped my mind....
Rubble-pile minor planet Sylvia and her twins - VLT NACO instrument discovers first triple asteroid http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=17602
"Because 87 Sylvia was named after Rhea Sylvia, the mythical mother of the founders of Rome, Marchis proposed naming the twin moons after those founders: Romulus and Remus. The International Astronomical Union approved the names."

Don't they know there are already planets with those names?

It's hardly an appropriate name for a dark and frozen rock, though.

Hmm, perhaps the true cause of the Earth-Romulan War has now been revealed: the Romulans get pissed at Earth for stealing their names?

Or Romulas and Remus are just two small planetessimals in the Terran System.
It'd explain the "simple impulse" conundrum!

Or mabye the refugees of fallen Illum built spaceships and colonized those planets...
It's as plausable as anything on SG1, anyway.
