Goon seem to me to be to be slang that will soon date, or has already dated. Does anyone still use it in real life?
Shrapnel and boycott I like a lot. And the idea of eponyms is good, although I think only ones which have become lower-case, that is, the link to the original name is almost gone, like shrapnel and boycott and unlike, say, Brownian motion.
So sideburns is another good one.
