Anyone got a Star, Nebula or Constellation named after you?

Looks like I may have had a distant relative that was an astronomer

Here is: ic1805/Melotte Nebula



* Constellation: Cassiopeia
* Location: RA: 02h 33m 15s Dec: 61d 24m 30s Epoch 2000
* Type: Diffuse Nebula/Open Cluster
* AKA: OCL 352

I guess there are so many object is space that everyone could have one named after them. Anyone else come across their name in outer space??

P.S. If you're looking for some cool desktops or just enjoy looking into space then you will love this site: http://www.spacetelescope.org/images/
