Bonus points? I was gonna say, "can we please stop naming products after historical figures that have nothing to do with them?"

Oh, come on.

Looking forward to the "Wolfgang Pauli" generation of GPUs -- the "Charles Batchelor," a smoothie machine and food processor named after Edison's assistant -- and the "McNamara" logistics and CRM suite.

(In all seriousness, it's especially bad when the namesake is still alive, e.g. the "Penrose" that was discussed here a little while ago. Montaigne is long dead, so whatever is in OP hasn't stooped quite so low, but it's latching on to a very stale trend.)
