People awesome enough to name someone after

My list today is of people unrelated to me whom I admire enough that I would consider naming a kid after them (although this is purely hypothetical since my partner, Mark, and I do not plan on having children). The list is in no particular order, other than the order in which people occur to me -- hopefully I remember all of the people I'd like to include, otherwise I may have to add on later.

1. Ani DiFranco - feminist, folk musician, poet
2. Martin Luther King, Jr. - pastor, civil rights leader, crafter of powerful words
3. Bill McKibben - environmentalist, author
4. Salman Rushdie - novelist, social commentator, wit
5. Elaine Wagner - chiropractor, nutritionist, natural healer
