This might be the origin of the Name (Auton) scheme rather than Auton Name. It's one thing to type (start typing) John Smith and then choose among the few types of duplicates. It's a different thing altogether to have various main articles on Zygon after typing Zygon and then hope that the number of Johns impersonated by Zygons is below 6 so that you at least get your link after typing Zygon John.

In short, it appears that usability-wise, it is beneficial to have names that become unique as early as possible. Thus, starting names with a generic term has its downsides.

In light of this, I am voting for Osgood (Zygon) rather than Zygon Osgood.
