The Trib reports on the ongoing process for naming Fissure 8. Seems it might take a while (and cost quite a bit, I assume):

"The Permitted Action Group, as it is called, is expected to meet twice with the Puna community during the course of the year to recommend names for fissure 8. The volcanic vent was one of two dozen that formed during the lower East Rift Zone eruption, and produced its most voluminous lava flows.
Action group members are Marques Marzan of Bishop Museum, Brad Ka‘aleleo Wong of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs and Noenoe Silva."
