Like Dijkstra's algorithm? Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm? Huffman coding?

Not to mention Shellsort.

Did any of these guys put their name on the algorithm by themselves?

[vanderZwan]

The author seems young, I think we should be a little forgiving if they saw all these algorithms and concluded "ok so if you come up with something new you get to name it after yourself"

[behnamoh]

those names were given to those algorithms by others, not the creators.

[gymbeaux]

What did they call their algorithms before they passed away?

[atiedebee]

Looking at the paper linked on the wikipedia page for Huffman Coding, David Huffman referred to Huffman Coding as just "optimum coding" [0]
