Homer constantly refers to 'swift-footed Achilles'; and you can't google Bjarne Stroustrup and not see 'creator of C++'; we may be stuck with Gmail creator Paul Bucheit. Makes the name easier to digest on casual mention, or something.

I don't mind the reference, but it seems like the title is often just "Gmail Creator" and not a mention of his name until the end of the first or second paragraph.
