If the anion ends in "ide", the acid name is hydro___ic acid. So hydroxide becomes hydrohydroxic acid.

Username almost checks out? IIRC Niels was a physicist, not a chemist.
Well, my grad school research used quantum mechanical calculations to predict physical properties of chemicals, so it fits for me ;)
Plus, as long as I have to teach first years the Bohr model, I figure chemistry can claim him as an honorary chemist. After all, what is chemistry but applied physics? Relevant xkcd: "Purity of the field"
Damn didnt expect that was your real name haha <3
