You sure about that?

Anything named after someone is not eponymous. I would say that site is using it wrong. Especially considering that those titles are largely fictional characters not named after anyone.


adjective
1.
giving one's name to a tribe, place, etc.:
Romulus, the eponymous founder of Rome.

I have a 2 points about this:

1. Dead people don't breathe
2. They had water in their lungs. I would expect those observations to be tainted.
