'Bose minus Einstein' and other examples of misattribution

Following the paper of J.D. Jackson [arXiv:0708.4249] on a false attribution of discoveries, equations, and methods [Am. J. Phys. 76, 704-719 (2008)] I consider examples, in which some of independent discoverers are forgotten, and in other cases discoveries and effects are attributed to people who did not discover them at all. I also discuss in brief why that happens and how physics community can avoid this.
