That may be so. But just because someone is the creator doesn't mean they have control over how people use the name.

Case in point:

Blue Origin wants people to refer to it by the nickname "Blue". But you kind of have to be in the industry to know that. Everyone else just uses the initialism instead, which is most commonly used to abbreviate "body odor".
