His/her name should coincide with that of the principle he/she discovered

Sometimes this just doesn't work, tho. Take Enrico Fermi. He discovered the Nuclear Chain Reaction. There, right off the bat, it had a name. At that point, it's kinda hard to put his name in it anywhere.

"The Nuclear Chain Reaction That Fermi Discovered" just don't sound right.
