What a nice idea for a quiz! Very enjoyable. You've missed a couple, including Gadolinium (64), Hahnium (105), arguably Livermorium (named after the lab, but that was named after a person), and there's also Gallium (31) which is a Latin version of the French discoverer's name.

Dubnium, named for Dubna in Russia, is the IUPAC-accepted name for element 105. But I will add gadolinium and gallium. I'm glad you liked the quiz!
