Cool People, or Hipsters, who belong to an Eponymous Society, where all members have the same name. Hip-eponymous is the next logical step to Googling your own name. You find and friend everyone with your name, and start a group, such as the "Your Name" Society.
I have my own Hip-eponymous group on FaceBook, everyone has the same name as me. ^_^

A regular eponym is something named after a person, such as nehru jacket, boycott, volt, bloomer, gerrymander and quisling. A para-eponym is something named after a variation on a person's name, and can be a noun, adjective or verb.
Two para-eponyms are Count Chocula (from Count Dracula) cereal and Cherry Garcia (from Jerry Garcia, a musician favorite of Ben and Jerry) ice cream.
