Posen is a Polish community near Rogers City and Alpena. Do I name it Posen or Pilarski and just move on?

My pick would be name it after the person if the name isn't already in use.

"Posen" is the name the Germans gave the Polish town of Poznań during the times in history they occupied it. My mother was born and raised near there. Wonder why the Polish immigrants called their new home by the German name?

But I think "Pilarski's Heart" would probably be a good name for your tomato.
