| | Eponym - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Many other artists and bands have also served as eponyms of albums or singles, usually as their debut or second release. | | | The band R.E.M. titled their 1988 compilation CD Eponymous as a joke. | | | The term is also applied to music, usually with regard to record titles. |

| | Absolute Write Water Cooler - Can you use "eponymous" in a sentence? |
| | If the album is named after the band, then the band is eponymous, not the album, unless you accept a broader definition of "eponymous" than the basic one. | | | Mostly I hear eponymous used with reference to musicians. | | | "Famous Rock Band made their major-label debut with their eponymous album in 1988" |

| | Eponyms |
| | An eponym is a word derived from the name of a real, fictional, mythical or spurious character or person. | | | Many eponymous words come from literary, biblical or mythological sources: malapropism, from Mrs Malaprop in Sheridan's The Rivals; Dickensian, from the English writer Charles Dickens; as old as Methuselah, from the age of the Old Testament patriarch; and aphrodisiac, from the Greek goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite. | | | There are thousands of eponyms in everyday use in English today and study of them yields a fascinating insight into the rich heritage of the world's most popular language and its development. |
