Sad not to see Ada getting a mention here. Named after Augusta Ada Byron, Countess of Lovelace (often shortened to Ada Lovelace) who is reputedly the world's first computer programmer due to her relationship with Charles Babbage, and also the daughter of Lord Byron, one of England's greatest poets and someone who helped instigate the story of Frankenstein (by Mary Shelley). An additional little nugget of info is that the US DoD diverged from its usual numbering sequence to allow the Ada programming language standard to be designated MIL-STD-1815, the 1815 referring to the year of Ada Lovelace's birth.
