[edit] Site with some eponyms

This site has several eponyms that are not on the list, and judging by google searches many of them are in common usage. KingTT 11:53, 11 October 2005 (UTC)


there are a ton more eponyms. for example, brahmsian, mahlerian...a bunch of composers have eponymous adjectives

[edit] Foucault

I've seen the word "Foucauldian" in a website name ("http://www.thefoucauldian.co.uk/"), however I am unsure whether this is the actual term for describing something in relation to Michel Foucault. If someone can confirm it, it ought to go on the page. --Nate 04:46, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Titian

Is Titian really its own eponym? I suspect this is a mistake. JackofOz 20:59, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Christian

I noticed this most prominent omission, and added it. — Michael J 22:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Waltwhitmanesque

I saw it in Bend Sinister. Does that count?

[edit] Rousseau

Is there really none for Rousseau? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.255.77.112 (talk) 21:28, 10 May 2007 (UTC).

Good question. Maybe rousseaunian? In Portuguese rousseauniano/rousseauniana seems to be rather common. Cattus talk 19:00, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roman

i have doubts about this one, so i'll mention it here. is Rome named after Romulus, hence Roman derived ultimately from a name. Or is Romulus a myth who was named after the city? G30ffr3y (talk) 13:27, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
