Famously Sagan objected to Apple using 'Carl Sagan' for the codename for one of its computers (the Power Mac 7100; I had one. Great machine. Butt-ugly, but incredibly powerful.) Carl sued. Apple changed the codename to BHA, for Butt Head (or Hole...) Astronomer. Carl sued again. https://www.engadget.com/2014-02-26-when-carl-sagan-sued-apple-twice.html
