Naming Stuff After Yourself is Bad

100 years ago today Leo Fender was born, the inventor of the Fender guitar.
He humbly named it after himself (all artists are humble) in the tradition
of the following:

Sandwich- Earl of Sandwich
Xerox- Johnny Xerox
Breadbox- Albert H. Breadbox Jr.
Hatchet- Chet Hatt
Hammer- Hammurabi
Glucose- Glenn Close








Mandrake
