In the Navy in the 80s the CNO tried to change the name of the BOQ to the UOPH (Unaccompanied Officer Personnel Housing) because of the larger number of women officers but it failed because everyone refuse to call it UOPH and they still called it the BOQ. The next CNO reversed the name change.
It has nothing to do with trying to "sound cool". Naming aircraft is part of the tradition of aviation.
Lol, did ya notice how on the other board u were taken to the woodshed for your moaning about the 'Chief Pilots Office' conspiracy? Nobody is forcing anything on you. But in your world were all out to get you. Call it whatever the heck you want, I just wanna fly my trip and go home.
