Science/math/naturalist names

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

I've been prodding back and forth at this idea for a while, and I thought I'd share.
Some of these are on my list, some are out there even for me.

Now, a lot of these are last names, and so I'm just going to splat them out there and let you determine which ones ought to be boys and which ought to be girls. I've included some people's whole names, if they're especially awesome. But, there are lots of scientists etc with "ordinary" names which I've left off.

Also, some of these seem to be awesome middle names only. And I've put them in no particular order, cause I'm lazy.

One of the best parts? You can name a boy for an amazing woman and start building that respect early.
