The comet was named after the man not the other way around. No man as far as I am aware has been named after a comet with the possible exception of Bill Halley and the comets?
Comet West is named after its discoverer, Richard M. West, who observed the comet in 1975.
There is no well-known comet named Eva at this time. Comets are typically named after the person or group who discovers them. If a comet named Eva has been discovered recently, it may not be widely recognized yet.
Comets are named after the people who have discovered it or by the shape or after break away from a parent comet. eg: Halley's comet Tempel-Tuffle comet Biela's comet Encke's comet Ikeya Seki comet kooutek comet comet west comet Bowell comet IRAS -Araki-Alcock Comet Austin.
Edmund Halley did not invent anything, but he was a British astronomer known for calculating the orbit of the comet that now bears his name. Halley's Comet, which passes by Earth approximately every 75-76 years, was the first comet to be recognized as periodic.
Edmund Halley.
It was discovered in France by a man named Pizrre Mechain.

Halley's Comet is named after the man who determined its orbit predicted the comet's return. for more info & photos see the link http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/comets/halley.html
Edmund Halley PREDICTED the return of the comet which was later named for him.
Comet Man was created in 1987.

Uranus is one of the seven heavenly bodies named after its discovery. It was the first planet discovered with a telescope.
Halley didn't exactly find the comet named after him; doing calculations on the basis of several observations, he calculated the orbit and predicted when the comet would return. This was confirmed - the comet returned - after his death.Halley didn't exactly find the comet named after him; doing calculations on the basis of several observations, he calculated the orbit and predicted when the comet would return.
