Good table of moons, who discovered and when, distance from planet, size:
Moons Table

Just a suggestion, but I would dispense with anything under 1500 km in diameter, call anything between 1500-2499 km tiny moons, anything over 2500 small, and over 4500 medium (if such a thing exists, don't recall).

Moon(E), Europa(J), Triton(N) = small, Callisto(J), Ganymede(J) and Titan(S) = Medium, and Io(J), Rhea(S), Oberon(U) and Titania(U) = tiny for a total of 10 moons in the Sol system. You might add Iapetus (S) to the tiny list as well.
