Periodic Table Challenge

A fun way of exploring the periodic table and linguistics. Can you face the creativity challenge?
That familiar (to some!) sight - the periodic table, one of the most iconic images in science; it's a thing of beauty. Such logic and efficiency.
However, exploring it from a different angle might be a fun thing to do...can you alter any of the element names slightly to create a person's name? For example, tin becomes 'Tina' and beryllium becomes 'Beryl'. How many can you find? Loose connections not the least bit frowned upon.
