I suspect you nailed. When I was a FO, I introduced the capt as Buck Rogers and I was FO John Quest. When I became a capt, I was elevated to Buck Rogers and my Fo was John Quest. Nobody ever mentioned it On the L1011 the engineer was Bandit...sometimes Hadji...but that was a different era where there were no woke police.
