Your comment brings to mind the apochryphal story about the John D. Rockefeller library at Brown University. Supposedly, when university officials learned that some of the students referred to the edifice as the “Rock,” they were appalled; they suggested that the students pick a more respectful name. As the story goes, the students changed the nickname to the “John.”
