A list of unexpected things named after people includes familiar names like Larry Page and Glen Bell, as well as more obscure references like Lew Cirne and Henricus Wallace Westlake. Surprising suggestions like Snowflake, AZ, and German chocolate cake by Samuel German keep things interesting. As the list continues to grow, additions such as Brown noise and Elo show the diverse range of namesakes for various products and places. However, the disappointing news that Rocket Lab is not actually named after Mark Rocket leaves readers wondering about the true origins of certain names.
