Peter White calls them "connectors" on his site. I've called them "spade connectors," but I'm not an expert. I think PJW has them for a couple bucks apiece.
The nicer way to attach a lighting wire to a dynamo hub is called "a Shimano." I was impressed with their slick little plastic doodad that finishes off the wire. Strip the wires, poke 'em through the plastic box, fold 'em over and snap the cover on. Voila! Regardez votre plug! Not two independently-minded spade connectors writhing around on the end of a wire, but a single unit that snaps right onto the hub. To make my SON wires easier to attach, I now mount the hub with the spades pointing straight up, so I can see and feel them in front of the fork. The lighting wires come around the outside of the fork to reach the spades, which leaves me more grip area on the wire, and a cleaner angle of attack than hiding the wire behind the fork blade. It leaves more wire visible, but I no longer care. With the black SON, you can barely see it...
