Very nice Don't forgot some of the more imaginative species and genus names as well. First to come to mind is Ninjameys and for those that don't know latin (surely not!) meys is latin for turtle. There has also been a Batman (fish) and a Leonardo davincii (moth).
Another classic that comes to mind, but the specifics esape me, was the naming of a fungus after one of the discoverers peers, something tells me he wasn't much liked
