From Brian Clegg
Your editorial mentions discussions on renaming the Higgs boson as the Englert-Brout-Higgs-Guralnik-Hagen-Kibble particle (17 March, p 3). Those hoping to do so should take note of history.
The scientific community made it clear that “X-rays” should be replaced by the official “Röntgen rays”. That went well.
