It actually surprised me bit that the name was available. Eratosthenes was, among other things, the chief librarian at the Alexandrian Library. As well as being a mathematician, his contemporaries nicknamed him beta, from the second letter of the Greek alphabet, because he supposedly proved himself to be the second best in the world in almost any field. Just seemed like a good name to pick...glad you liked it
