What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

At the 2014 Championship, they announced that the 2015 Championship would be bigger -- taking up three venues instead of just one. A very reasonable conclusion from that is that there will be more divisions at each level, and in particular more than 4 divisions for FRC next year. I've heard competing rumors that there will be either 6 or 8 divisions in FRC. My question for the community is:

What names would you like to see used for new divisions?

My personal top choices are Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer, and Grace Hopper, who developed the first compiler.

Additionally, I believe that at least half of the divisions at each level (FLL, FTC & FRC) should be named after women. That means for FRC, if they add two, they should both be women, and if they add four, at least three should be women.

Wikipedia has some lists that may be relevant:What names would you like to see used?
