The Names Of Toilets

I just saw an ad on TV for a major hardware, home improvement store in the area.

They were advertising toilets, with the models of toilets having names. The two they advertised were "The Calloway" and "The Diplomat."

I get the Diplomat. It's just a name. Plus when it's constantly got people exposing themselves to it, it would have to be diplomatic in order to keep a roof over its head. But the Calloway, that seems like it'd have to be named after someone. So who would Calloway be? A beloved ex-employee who went to the bathroom more than normal?

They also advertised sewer pumps but these didn't have names. Just this sewer pump and that sewer pump.
