It was my understanding that the Secret Service assigned Presidential code names without any input from the "client".

Am I mistaken?

Wikipedia/Secret Service Code Name.

The United States Secret Service uses code names for U.S. presidents, first ladies, and other prominent persons and locations.

The use of such names was originally for security purposes and dates to a time when sensitive electronic communications were not routinely encrypted; today, the names simply serve for purposes of brevity, clarity, and tradition.

The Secret Service does not choose these names, however. The White House Communications Agency assigns them.

WHCA was originally created as the White House Signal Detachment under Franklin Roosevelt.

The SS pick the letter of the code names and give POTUS and family several choices.

I thought so too, but one would think that Q should know.
