These are all names I like for boys that are based on famous scientists. Does anyone have any other suggestions, or other science themed names they like that are not just nature names.
Elion- for [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f] [name_m]Elion[/name_m] who was a female biochemist and pharmacologist
Brooks- As in [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_m]Brooks[/name_m] First female Canadian nuclear physicist
Abbott - [name_f]Maude[/name_f] [name_u]Abbott[/name_u] one of [name_f]Canada[/name_f]’s first female medical graduates internationally recognized for her work on heart disease. First female to receive a BA from McGill university
@Ehrob1 Thank you so much. I adore that these are boys names but also all inspired by and honoring female scientists.
I recently met a boy named [name_m]Sagan[/name_m] whose father is an aerospace engineer. It is absolutely swoonworthy on him, and has definitely reignited my interest in science-themed names, so this is a very timely post!

@Hypatia_Hellene This is such a timely post. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband is a science teacher and our firstborn is [name_m]Archimedes[/name_m], but if we have a second boy, I like [name_m]Kepler[/name_m] and he likes Moseley. For a girl, it’s definitely [name_f]Hypatia[/name_f] because she’s the best! 
I hope you find a great name!
Ditto! Such a brilliant idea!
I especially like [name_u]Edison[/name_u] & [name_m]Rutherford[/name_m]. Your theme made me think of space - like planets, comets and stars.
