Some discussion related to naming organisms after people in this thread from last year as well:
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/if-you-could-rename-an-existing-species/6554
I’m not overly fond of organisms being named after people, though some of that may be the result of living in Asia and dealing with local species named after Europeans. (Or individuals from regional colonial powers …)
I understand the reasons behind the convention and won’t argue that all the current names should be changed but do hope local histories - for lack of a better term - can be recognized when creating names.
