"Sophie Germain primes"

They'd be called just "Germain primes" if people didn't think it so necessary to draw attention to the fact that she was a woman.

They're called 'Noetherian rings' though, and there's another Noether (Emmy's father Max)

Yes, and there are things named after each of the Curies without specifying that it's not the other. These points make the case of Germain stand out all the more - why was she different?
