    I think they should have named it something like Ovicula manleya after the woman who found it - Deb Manley.

    It may have been her choice.

    Possible, but I think most would agree with me - very unlikely. It's not like using her surname would lead to a huge invasion of privacy, making her vulnerable to major hacking attacks.

    It would be a huge honour; something her family could brag about for generations.

    I'd love to know the real story.
