Doing an "Ultraraptor"



I was wondering, has any genus or species of dinosaur
(T-rex/"Ultraraptor" excluded, for obvious reasons)
or, indeed, any other animal or plant,  had it's name
changed for reasons other than synonymity or
homonymity (are those words? they are now!) I remember
hearing that Bakker wanted to call a hadrosaur Ed, but
couldn't. Anybody know why?

Thankyou

Simon
