The SMART-1 team has released an image of the Apollo 11 landing site:

http://www.esa.int/esaSC/SEM1O6BUQPE_index_1.html

for the 37th anniversary of the landing. In the release, they label two craters as Aldrin and Collins, with a mention of a third crater, Armstrong, off frame. It is my understanding that one has to be deceased in order for surface features on other worlds to be named after you...
