There are a bunch of names here, and on the related pages (neutron,
fermion, etc...):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton
some cool options there but many seem already taken
leading on to scientists closely associated with atoms:
Dalton
Rutherford
(quick google seems to indicate that these are less widely used as
names for
software that many physics terms)
FYI, in California, the names/images of real people who lived within
the past 75 years or so are protected by laws that are more like
copyright than trademarks, and reserved for the exclusive benefit of
the person's estate. It was originally intended to protect the image
of famous people used in advertising. Similar laws (with varying
length of coverage) are found elsewhere.
As such, the days when you could name a product after a famous person
are long gone unless you can get that person to sign a document that
gives us irrevocable permission.
