M:
Alexander (the Great or Hamilton)
Oscar (Wilde -also love his sons names: Cyril & Vyvyan, but not sure if that would still count as honoring.)
James (Dean, Baldwin, Henry James, J.M. Barrie, and I might would lie and tell someone I named a kid James Buchanan after the president, but I would really just naming them after James Buchanan Barnes, the Winter Soldier comic book character.)
Florin (Buhuceanu)
Janusz (Korczak. This name would totally not work in the US, but I still really like it so it's going on the list.)
Ștefan (Odobleja)
Hart (Crane. Or Nancy Hart.)
Simon (Joe Simon)

Emmeline (Pankhurst)
Estelle Sylvia (Pankhurst)
Maya (Angelou)
Marian (Anderson)
Margaret (Atwood or Mead. Might call her Daisy to give a nod to Daisy Bates too.)

Harriet (Tubman)
Charlotte (Perkins Gilman)
Renate (Weber)
Giulia (Lama)
