TLDR: It was named after the town Cummington, Massachusetts where it was found.

MODERATORS
Was looking for Alan Cumming's line of body care products to make a joke about this and learned that he stopped making them in 2005, AND someone just sold a "mostly empty" bottle of Cumming All Over body lotion (Condition: Used) on Ebay for $69.99.
Edit: This is a commercial for his fragrance "Cumming" (NSFW, bums) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmdJEjJxYOY
What a fucking missed opportunity to list it for $69.69. You had one job, ebay seller zzzpoo!
I sure hope no one gave them positive feedback.
("Locum" administers medical facilities. This was their valentines day ad some years back.)
I really love that OG Skeletor became a meme god
IMO geologists missed a lot of opportunities: i.e barfite, flashlite, holdmetite, alrite, campsite, dogshite (it's white and fossilized, found in small deposits).
Did he also name #2 1/2 mine?
Good luck getting your DoorDash order now.
