never
you're supposed to name things after someone else
then, someone might be inspired by your work, and build off it, and then he'll be the one to name it after you

Only if the PhD is awarded posthumously and you died in the course of your studies.

For instance I can envisage the anon-factor, the factor by which the assumed explosive force is multiplied to get close to the real value.

Renamed by others later? That's how it usually happens. I.e. Douglas Hofstadter discovered the Hofstadter butterfly while researching his PhD, but in his thesis he just called it figure G.

The sciencepill of naming things after yourself is that you should give a shitty name to your discovery. So shitty in fact, that other researchers will feel compelled to refer to your discovery after your name, rather than the name you suggested.
