So what could be a bigger honor than getting a big obvious thing named after yourself? Important people who have done important stuff tend to have a lot of things named after themselves. And of course, this is going to appear a lot in fiction. It can show that a person is really famous or important if you see that a school or park has been named after them. If something is named after a character, it can tell you how famous they are or have become among the population. But sometimes this can tell you more about the namers than the namee. Maybe they wanted to get on the good side of a famous person. Maybe it shows some Skewed Priorities if they name it after a person who is not that famous or relevant. Or it can even tell you something about the world, what kind of person the population reveres. Or sometimes it can just be a nice Shout-Out or gag the writers added to honor someone THEY consider important. A good name can tell you a lot indeed. Of course, since famous people exist, and naming stuff after them is common, there must be some connection or Shout-Out about the name, and not just be a place that happens to be named after someone. Compare Egopolis, where an egotistical character names a city after themselves, and Named After Somebody Famous, when a character is the one named after somone famous. |

The Simpsons: In "Lisa On Ice", the Springfield Elementary School auditorium is named the "Butthead Memorial Auditorium", which leads Principal Skinner to remark, "I wish we hadn't let the students name that one". This was inspired by an incident in Greenwood, South Carolina, where children proposed having a new elementary school named Springfield Elementary School. Parts of "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)" take place at the Marvin Monroe Memorial Hospital, named after a psychiatrist who appeared early in the show's run. In a later episode Dr. Monroe is explicitly stated to have died. In a later episode, he's revealed to be alive, but was simply "very sick" for a while. |

Eureka: One of the institutes Global Dynamics runs is called the Andre Sandrov Institute, after the Nobel prize winner who made a breakthrough in bioengineering and cryogenics. It turns out his work was actually based on research done by Pierre Fargo, Douglas Fargo's grandfather, who had been stuffed into one of his own cryotubes by a jealous rival. At first, everyone suspects Sandrov, who was Pierre's assistant at the time, but he protests his innocence. After Pierre disappeared, he took his research and was able to complete it. The real culprit turned out to be a guy who was in love with the same girl as Pierre and tried to remove him from the equation. At the end, the institute is renamed in honor of both its benefactors, the Sandrov-Fargo Institute. | |

Reefer Madness: The Musical: The musical satire focuses on the sensationalized dangers of marijuana, as based on the 1936 exploitation film Reefer Madness. As it so happens, the teenagers in this adaptation attend Harry J. Anslinger High School. Harry J. Anslinger is the sole figure popularly credited (or blamed) for the criminalization of marijuana in the United States. It's also a funny play on the word "high," which is also used as a slang term for somebody under the influence of drugs—a high school named after an anti-pot advocate. | |

The Replacements: The school Todd and Riley attend was originally "George Washington Middle School". However, in "The Insecurity Guard", when asked who the first president of the United States was, Todd answers "George Stapler" because he looked at a stapler, even though there were loads of pictures of Washington around the room. When the teacher says he's wrong, Todd's security robot threatens her, then she hastily retracts her statement and says that everything Todd says is correct from that point forward. The school has been "George Stapler Middle School" ever since. | |

If allowed to, the Scientist in question dies, but the Nexus receives a 25% boost in research production and is automatically renamed "The Groik Nexus" in honor of the inventor (perplexingly instead of the Scientist volunteer). | |

Control: A late-game secret area reveals that the power generator in the Oldest House, known as the NSC, is this: It stands for "Northmoor Sarcophagus Container", and contains the burning, but potentially still living, body of former Federal Bureau of Control director Broderick Northmoor, who was a parautilitarian with the ability to generate heat; once he lost control of the ability, he was sealed in the NSC and turned into a living battery. | |

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: The Jhiaxian Academy of Advanced Technology was named after Jhiaxus, Cybertron's chief scientist in the days of Nova Prime's administration. As Jhiaxus turned out to be an amoral Mad Scientist who built unethical weapons and did horrible experiments to people on the side, people tend to just call it the J.A.A.T. or omit the "Jhiaxian" part of the name. The Academy was founded by Jhiaxus's protégée, Shockwave, who was trying to rehabilitate his image. | |
