I met Higgs about 20 years ago (at the University of Edinburgh) but I don't think that naming the particle the "Higgis" would be a good idea.

"...of the dark matter that comprises 90 percent of the universe." The article is slightly misleading here; the Universe is not 90% dark matter. What they mean to say is that of the matter that exists in the Universe, 90% of THAT is dark matter.
The latest figures for composition of the Universe are something like 4% ordinary matter, 21% dark matter, and about 75% dark energy. Matter of all types accounts for only about a quarter of the total composition.
