Interesting question, but it might just be a yellow volkswagon effect. Quickly looking at Wikipedia's list of languages, theres Babbage, Bertrand, Cecil, Darwin, Dylan, Escher, Euclid, Euler, Godel, Hume, Orwell, Tom, Zeno, and probably a few others I missed.
EDIT: Haskell and Pascal, how embarassing to miss those
It's a shame that Haskell Brooks Curry did not have any more names because all three of his names have already been used for programming languages by now.
