She would be naming several new species in her next paper, and offered to name one after me. Immediately, I realized others would be interested in having the same opportunity.
<p>The names of new species have been sold before, but few can afford the <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7493711/">$650,000 paid by an internet casino</a> to name a new species of monkey, and few can match the <a href="http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/april05/slime-mold.bush.cheney.ssl.html">fame of the President of the United States</a>.</p>
<p>After thinking about ways to make naming species accessible and mutually beneficial for scientists and customers alike, we set out to work with researchers around the globe who describe new species in the course of their research. We enable our participating researchers to support their work by providing customers with the opportunity to give a unique gift: the name of a new species.</p>
