In a powerful counter-proposal I recommend that human genes be named after
actual people. I think many of us have heard of the star catalogue - for
fifty bucks you can have a star named after you (not sure if they still do
this). So, the same deal applies - only a bit more expensive because
there's considerably fewer human proteins than theer are stars.

Imagine weary crystallographer coming home:

Darling, we finally solved the structure of Edgar Allan Poe!
What, full-length?
No, unfortunately we had to chop the head off - it was wobbling all over
the place.
