I feel like the "personal greed" angle isn't quite right -- I don't think the folks you cited named these things after themselves. E.g. Cauchy just called it "theorem 16": https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k90195m/f377.image … . Avogadro's constant was named a hundred years after discovery.
What typically happens is that folks publish a paper containing some idea, and it turns out that idea is Important, and without a name for that idea folks just start calling it "Foo's theorem" or whatever
