* Indianapolis, Indiana and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma are examples of state capitals that use this trope.
** Which trope? Oklahoma's name is derived from the Choctaw words okla and humma, meaning "red people". It's not a case of one person naming a city or federated state after themselves.
** Interestingly, there is a town in Ohio called "Ohio City", but it's not a state capital.
* The unofficial name of Gliese 581 g (the first exoplanet widely believed to be capable of supporting Terragen life) is Zarmina's World. In a slight variation of this trope, Zarmina is named not after the discoverer (Steven Vogt) but rather after his wife.
