I agree. I use a Sunbeam cool mist with pcv pipe running the mist onto the cage. Works great. Luna will walk right into the mist 
as for names...people really vary on how they name their critters (look at anyone's signature!). There is a website all about names and you may find one or at least be inspired. Check out the K9, Feline, and Other Such section.
here's a pic of my humidifier setup - you can see more in the gallery
