I did this the first time I encountered the name game and got a Cartman-esque response from the TDC (who was a dead ringer for Precious) for clearly not respecting her authoritah. She eventually called over a supervisor and I relented because I had never encountered the procedure before and wasn't sure of the consequences. Now I just mumble something and act annoyed because it's so minor and not worth the extra hassle compared to the more significant stuff that I am almost guaranteed to push back on once I'm in line.
