Didn't know Shri had a country named after him. Other famous members?

Shrilanka. I like it. I personally know this nation's grand potentate.

Okay, so maybe it was only a typo domain that was deleting and a dot org at that.

Any other members here have countries or cities or monuments that might be named after them?

Name game anyone?

Interestingly enough, Sri Lanka means: resplendent/wealthy (sri) land (lanka) in sanskrit. It used to be called Ceylon, but nobody can figure out why. :)

I'm sure there must be a Chad here...

If we are talking about real names...there is a county in my State named after one of my ancestors which is also my last name. There is also something very interesting about my ancestral past, but that would be off topic.

There's a little dangling spit of land in southern Ireland (near Cork) named after my family.

Not a whole country, just a spit
