More than one LV426

The designation LV-426 is not scientifically accurate. Lima Vector or Lagrange Vector and 3 coordinates to specify which moon of a planetary body is being referred to. In reality this is not a correct designation (as a myriad of satellites around any planet could have the same three digit number (which is not a vector notation). The correct astronomical nomenclature for LV-426 would be: S/2039 (ζ2 Ret IV) 2.
So according to this, there could be multiple LV 426’s in the universe, but only one S/2039 (ζ2 Ret IV) 2.
Thoughts anyone
