Comets are typically named in honor of their discoverers. If you are a dedicated comet hunter like David Levi is or Eugene Shoemaker was, you keep the telex and fax numbers of the International Astronomical Union on speed-dial; these days, you can report your discovery by e-mail.
So the comet Shoemaker-Levi 9 that collided with Jupiter in 1994 was the 9th comet discovered by the team of David Levi and Eugene Shoemaker.
