- The name Quetelet is the only one of the IAU's official lunar surface names which starts with the letter Q. The birthplace of Quetelet (the city of Ghent, Flanders-Belgium) has only one streetname which starts with the letter Q: the Queteletstraat (street of Quetelet).
- Felix C. Lamech's unofficial name Pierot (Darney C) was also a Belgian (Arthur Pierot, 1867-1938, Belgian astronomer and selenographer).
