  1. No, the name can be changed.

    An organism's name can be based on the finder's name or, as a honor, the name of someone else ... the name can be based on the location of the find.  Most frequently, the name is based on the perceived relationship the organism has to other organisms.  Sometimes, that perception is found to be false and the name of the new organism is changed.


  2. Names get changed all the time. This is especially true among microorganisms. Scientists often argue among themselves what genera they want to put the organisms. Often the organisms got moved to different genera.

  3. i don't know but scientific names cant be changed
