Vasily Panov was a Soviet master mostly active in the 30's and 40's. He is best known for 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 cxd5 4.c4 the Panov attack vs the Caro Kan.
My personal favourite opening name is 1.e4 c5 2.d4 d6 3.Nf3 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Rg1 the 'freak attack' vs Sicilian Najdorf.
Anyway, what really good names for openings do you like?
How about Mark's Opening?
The Monkey's Bum was discovered and championed by IM Nigel Povah in the 1970s during a wave of popularity for the Modern Defence. In 1972, after Keene and Botterill published their book The Modern Defence, Povah began looking for a response to the opening. He happened across the game Ljubojević–Keene, Palma de Mallorca 1971, which started 1.e4 g6 2.d4 d6 3.Bc4 Bg7 4.f4 Nf6 and eventually ended in a draw. Intrigued by Ljubojević's early Bc4, Povah began investigating a rapid assault on f7 with 3.Qf3. When he showed the first few moves to Ken Coates, a friend at Leeds, Coates declared, "If that works then I'm a monkey's bum!" The name stuck.

What is the "Panov Transfer"?
It keeps coming up when I play games. I have no idea what the moves are, or who he (or she!) was, but I really like the name. I keep thinking that the Panov Transfer is a book where a spy in the Cold War named Panov is exchanged in Berlin for a Soviet spy, and I'm the mysterious British spy lurking in the shadows.
