The SR-71 got its designation deliberately -- Curtis LeMay changed it in the text Johnson was given.


The better example would the the F-35, where the General in charge screwed up in a press conference and there was a real behind-the-scenes effort to fix it, to no avail.  Lockheed was so sure it was going to be the F-24 that their website actually said "F-24 JSF" for about two days after the selection announcement.
