[Opinions] Most diseases are...

Alzheimer's: Alois Alzheimer
Lou Gehrig's disease: well, duh
Cushing's: Harvey Cushing
Huntington's: George Huntington
Raynaud's: Maurice Raynaud

Just because a disease was named after a person does not make it a good idea to name your child that. In fact, I'm willing to bet that 99% of the general public would have heard of the diseases mentioned above before the people after whom they are named.
