Okay, I'll give my opinion, based on what the LDS Church has taught me. "Lucifer" is based on the word which means something to the effect of "being of light." In Wikipedia it says it means "shinning one, morning star." Hence he is called a son of the morning. "Satan" is Hebrew for "to obstruct or oppose" [Wikipedia].
I do not have any problem in accepting the teaching that they are one and the same. I truly try to avoid contemplating this being too much, as I find that when conversing about him or his minions, we invite him into our lives; much as we invite God into our lives when we converse about Him ;-D I hope you find this helpful.
