Naming species is known in the scientific world as binomial nomenclature. Each name must be made up of two words: one is the modern Latin or scientific term for the genus and the second is the identifying word for the particular species. In the species Homo sapiens, Homo is the genus and sapiens is the specific species within that genus.
Although the taxonomist or scientist can give a new species nearly any name he likes, he does have to follow certain rules when composing the name. For instance, the name must follow Latin grammar rules. The descriptor name must be in the possessive form.
1. The first name represents the genus and must start with a capital letter
2. The second name represents the species and must start with a lowercase letter
3. When handwritten the binomial name must be underlined. When typed, it must be typed in italics
4. When talking about a specific organism, only if the genus name has already been mentioned in full before, it may be written with just the first letter and a fullstop/period followed by the species in full
5. When talking about a particular genus with many species in it, it may be denoted simply as the genus name followed by "spp."
When a new organism is found it would first need to be classified in a genus, and all categories above that, from there it would be given its own unique species name.

The modern classification naming system, also known as binomial nomenclature, was developed by the Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century. Linnaeus introduced a system of binomial (two-part) names to classify and identify species, assigning each species a unique name consisting of its genus and species. This system is still widely used in biology today.
He altered the naming system of biologists giving the species long Latin names into one that consisted of one Latin name to indicate the breed, and another for the species. This made up the two name species name, called a binomial, and it rapidly became the standard system for naming species. This naming system can be used all around the world, in all languages, without translating.
A new species entering a geographical area is called and invasive species. These new species may soon take over since they may not have any natural predators, or enemies.
Because it helps Classify. For Example, a Lion is Panthera Leo. The Genus (Panthera) means "cat" and Species (Leo) means "lion" meaning that this species is a cat, but commonly known as Lion.

Upper & Lower case letters are the naming rules on Microsoft Word 2007.
XML has no rules like html in regards to tags and naming tags, you write your own xml tags.

no, taxonomy is not evolution. Taxonomy is the science of naming species. Taxonomy, though, makes evolution clearly apparent, as new species require new naming conventions, however similar they may seem. and a "species" is defined as something that can establish its own breeding population...something that can sustain a propagating population. So horses are a species, donkeys are a species, but mules, the hybrid of horses and donkeys, are not, since they could not mate with other mules reliably to create a new "species" called mules without the help of either parent Mules, then, instead of a species, are called a hybrid.
The order of naming an organism is >Domain >Kingdom >Phylum >Class >Order >Family >Genus >Species
Usually the genus and species names are used to identify different organisms.

genus and species
IUPAC has rules that govern the naming of new susbstances. However, now and again the discoverers are allowed some lattitude. As an example C60 was named Buckminster Fullerene
naming the species, grouping the species.. and more
The rules for naming chemical elements and for chemical symbols are established by IUPAC; see this link.
