It is weird that Haskell (programming language) is named after Curry's first name though. That isn't generally how you name things (other than people). About the only other thing I think of that works that way is America, named after the explorer Amerigo Vespucci. "Vespuccia" would have been a more logical choice.

There was the JOHNNIAC named after John von Neumann. Several things are named after Elvis Presley, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_operator

Not an eponym per se, but Guy Fawkes comes to mind.

Edit (no I'm not reading through the Wikipedia list of eponyms why would you think that):

Gerrit for Gerrit Rietveld (though a fork of Rietveld for svn)

Linux for Linus Torvalds, Debian for two people, TOML (all self-named)

Aldus corp for Aldus Manutius

America was very likely not named after Amerigo Vespucci - as you stated correctly, naming something after someone's first name is unlikely. It seems very plausible that it is named after the Amerrique mountains.

Well, you're one of today's 10'000 then :)
