Jerry,Doesn't that border on ... How many parents are named after their children?  Not even the rock that Kronos swallowed and later threw up (and no doubt eventually came down to Earth accompanied by the thunder from Zeus's lightening bolts) had a name?  I guess there's at least Campo del Cielo to contend with as a thought...?
