When we would have namings in the squadron we would have the list of names with the votes, but if you didn't like your name you could "buy" your way out of it. A round of drinks for everyone at the naming got you a new call sign. The trick was to stop when it was just bad enough that you could stand it, because you never knew what was coming up next.
And whining about your name was NEVER tolerated. But then again, I got stuck with "Shrek." (Anyone who has seen what I look like would understand.)
