In September 1992, the German group suggested the name ''nielsbohrium'' with symbol ''Ns'' to honor the Danish physicist [[Niels Bohr]]. The Soviet scientists at the [[Joint Institute for Nuclear Research]] in [[Dubna]], Russia had suggested this name be given to element 105 (which was finally called dubnium) and the German team wished to recognise both Bohr and the fact that the Dubna team had been the first to propose the cold fusion reaction, and simultaneously help to solve the controversial problem of the naming of element 105. The Dubna team agreed with the German group's naming proposal for element 107.<ref>{{cite journal |doi =10.1351/pac199365081815

There was an [[element naming controversy]] as to what the elements from 104 to 106 were to be called; the [[IUPAC]] adopted ''unnilseptium'' (symbol ''Uns'') as a temporary, [[systematic element name]] for this element.<ref name="IUPAC97" /> In 1994 a committee of IUPAC recommended that element 107 be named ''bohrium'', not ''nielsbohrium'', since there was no precedent for using a scientist's complete name in the naming of an element.<ref name="IUPAC97" /><ref name="IUPAC94">{{Cite journal|doi=10.1351/pac199466122419|title=Names and symbols of transfermium elements (IUPAC Recommendations 1994)|date=1994|journal=Pure and Applied Chemistry|volume=66|pages=2419–2421|issue=12|doi-access=free}}</ref> This was opposed by the discoverers as there was some concern that the name might be confused with [[boron]] and in particular the distinguishing of the names of their respective [[oxyanion]]s, ''bohrate'' and ''borate''. The matter was handed to the Danish branch of IUPAC which, despite this, voted in favour of the name ''bohrium'', and thus the name ''bohrium'' for element 107 was recognized internationally in 1997;<ref name="IUPAC97" /> the names of the respective oxyanions of boron and bohrium remain unchanged despite their homophony.<ref>{{RedBook2005|pages=337–9}}</ref>
