Which chemist discovered a element that isn't named after them?

Most elements are not named after those who discovered them. Only one element was named after a person who was still alive at the time: Seaborgium was named after Glenn Seaborg, who was credited as a co-discoverer. By this time all newly discovered elements had to be synthesized in particle accelerators and therefore their discovery could not be attributed to any single scientist.
