Scientists often pay homage to people they admire, famous people or friends when naming new species. There are a lot of species named after David Attenborough including a prehistoric lizard, a parasitic wasp, an echidna, a fossilised fish and, most recently, a rat eating plant.

My question is this: If someone was to name a species after you what sort of plant, insect or animal would you like it to be? The only restriction is that it has to be an undiscovered species (no changing an existing name) and it has to be fairly realistic that it would exist.

I think it would be really cool to have a (possibly extinct) species of small rodent named after me. I would give an example but I'm not sure what the latin version of my last name would be. Possibly Bransatoglis moorae (the genus is a type of extinct dormouse).
I would like to have the curse for all human diseases named after me.

I'm hoping there will be a picture of me laser etched on the pill giving a thumbs up on the front of it. With a little sub title line of something like "I don't know about Jesus but it sure looks like I'm healing you!" :p

How about a new greener friendlier world order ? that'd be sweet.

as far as species go, im just sad that the zerg already are named. Is renaming an option ? ;D

Pancake Cannon.

Wait, no. I'd be happy enough to see said cannon come to fruition. That thing must forever and always be known as 'Pancake Cannon' ... though I would like to be referenced...
(Think of a pancake launched at top speeds into someones' face, insta-killing them. Best way to kill someone ever.)

Back on topic...

I... uhm... lets just go ahead and say a nice hot brand of Potato Chips...

Edit*

... LIVING potato chips then...

I would like a form of government named after me. Doukism, where everyone listens to me in regards to non-global issues and the old government is still there because I'm just a teenager.

Basically a king without all the work.
