yes, there should, and they should be more restrictive than what we are using currently. see my comments below.if it doesn't have utility as an ADJECTIVE, i.e. the modifier of a noun, it doesn't belong. nothing is aegean except the aegean sea. nothing is wolffian except a wolffian

I couldn't find a single actual usage of "Chlumskyan." 582:) and "Jordanesque". Just about any famous person's name can and will be eponymified in books and the press.

Wouldn't this be a "toponymic" adjective? Lilliput was a ficticious land, not a person. Gulliveresque or Stevensonian would be eponymous, not Lilliputian.
