Naming non-living things
I know two ways of naming things. One is to use latin prefixes and suffixes and try to have them match the object you are naming with its definition. The other is to use metaphors based on how it looks. What are some other ways? I would like as many answers as possible, one is enough as long as it wasn't mentioned by another user.

Name them after the person who discovered them.
Many areas and companies are named in this way.
Name them with a random sequential system in the order they are discovered.
This is how star classifications happened. They started with A and B. Then a bunch of letters were wrong and got dropped. Now we know better and have put them in order of temperature, but we still have the category names in the wrong order: O, B, A, F, G, K, and M.
