Silverstone's thinking about name second race; will Stirling Moss get a tribute?

It's starting to look more and more like there's going to be multiple races on different circuits. First England was mentioned, then Austria and now Hungary would organise a double Grand Prix as well, although that brings with it a new problem.
For example, the Daily Mail reports that Silverstone has to look for a new name for the second event. Since the 'Grand Prix of Great Britain' has already been given away to the first event, there will have to be another date for the second event. Which date that is, is also a big question mark.
Stirling Moss Grand Prix
For example, the BBC and Bild are already reporting different dates for those two races at Silverstone and the Daily Mail is giving it its own twist. The first race at Silverstone would be held on July 19th and the second race on August 2nd. According to Bild it was 26 July and 2 August, where the BBC gave 18 July and 26 July as dates.
However, the chance of a second race seems good, because the Daily Mail also reports that the second race will be held and that people are already seriously thinking about a second name. Silverstone Grand Prix', would be the most obvious name, but the British newspaper reports that the name of Stirling Moss also goes around. The British motorsport icon died earlier in April and could well get his name honoured with his own Grand Prix.
