How is this any different to Hewlett-Packard or DuPont or thousands of other comparable companies? They sound more like objects or brands than surnames anyway.

Besides you should watch some of Rigetti's speeches, he really seems like a great guy and CEO who is passionate about quantum computing.

I can't think of any other moderately successful tech company that has started in recent memory which is named after the founder, although perhaps there are a few examples. In my mind, it takes a certain amount of arrogance to name a tech company after yourself; you alone cannot possibly make it great (unlike a law firm, consultancy, hedge fund, etc.) and naming it as such severely discounts the perceived worth of other employees.
