Did a little digging and KLM allows name changes in the first 24 hours for free. So that's at least one data point saying Aegean has their hand in our pockets unnecessarily.

"My name is not written correctly. What should I do?
Passenger names should match the passport names. If your name or any other personal information is not correct, please contact us within 24 hours after your booking to change them. This is free of charge."

I thought the same thing about the single digit, but didn't want to take the chance of something going wrong at the airport so I just paid the 20 Euro. It's my fault obviously, but the airlines could be more understanding, ala KLM, in the first hours post booking.
