I've always assumed they knew their mother by name. It would be a silly thing to keep her name from them. I'm sure Luke knew Anakin's name; we just never heard it until RotJ. Same thing w/Padme. Also, "Padme once thought as you do," is a potential line change for Vader. It would preferably be "your mother," but unless we can Vader-ize other JEJ dialogue, "Padme" will have to do. But that's an entirely different issue that we've addressed before in this very thread.
Having Luke show up before the official meeting starts and everyone sits down could work. I'll experiment with it and see what I can come up with. Also, it would be a lot of work to insert him in somewhere during the meeting, but it would really help to "sell it". That's something else to consider...
