Eponyms

Do you know that derrick, fahrenheit, cardigan, boycott, and silhouette were names of people?  These people's names became words in our vocabulary because they either became famous of the infamous. Words that come from names are called eponyms.

Pretend that you have become famous for an invention or an activity and turn your name into an eponym.  Use the emponym as a basis for your writing.
