The story that Guiness prohibited employees from publishing papers, and thus William Gosset published it under the name Student, is well known.

Imagine if they did allow it, but asked him to name it the Guinness t-test. We would be giving them free publicity for over a century

I did not know that. Would have been amazing for them: the Guinness test.
