I think that's it. Maybe Godiva or Napoleon, but I like their names to start with. It would definitely have to be someone ancient and/or legendary. I don't think I would honor someone modern (mid-century onwards), as they are more or less ordinary.
I like larger-than-life characters, whose stories may or may not be true, and people commited to a cause. I like audacious characters as well. Just who did Napoleon think he was, crowning himself Emperor? How dare Thecla baptize herself? I hope my child has as much nerve (with a little humility to temper it).
