7. Wouldn't that discourage any entity that wanted to name something after him?

Why would a city or airport authority want to ante up big bucks (and you know it would be a hefty fee) for the "privilege" of naming their airport for someone? It's not like an airport gets more traffic or makes more money because of its name. When you fly to New York City you don't choose JFK over LGA because you like John Kennedy more than Fiorello La Guardia but because it's more convenient or because the airline where you have the most miles goes there. Renaming any airport after Himself won't bring it more passengers or more revenue.
