There's a mathematical metatheorem: All theorems are named after someone not their original discoverer. Your best hope is that someone else will find that your theorem is not original, so that your name will then be attached to it forever. At 03:57 PM 4/10/03 -0700, Steve Gray wrote:

Napoleon was probably not the originator of that theorem. I think the earliest known mention was in 1825. Napoleon's theorem may rank as the most generalized theorem in the history of geometry, culminating (so far) in an article of mine in the March 2003 Monthly. But it can be taken even farther, which I am now working on. I do not (yet) have a criminal career, but will consider one if my article continues to be totally ignored. Please help me avoid a life of crime! :o)
