But I found this, which is interesting: "Landscape features on planets and natural satellites follow a set of complicated conventions set by the IAU Nomenclature Committee. The rules set restrictions on allowable names such as: a planetary feature may not bear the name of a living person or of a political or religious figure from the last 200 years."

This seems wise, especially considering that it's just come out that Ray was on a government enemies' list.
