A notorious BOAC Captain know as ‘The Razor’ due to his surname required everyone to address him as Captain G*******sir.
I knew him as Ron "the Blade" ( for the same reason ) . Once addressed as Captain xxxxxx, with a soft G, as was normal for that name, he barked "it's a hard G, for a hard man." but I recall hearing of an event, details forgotten now, when he stood up for his cabin crew who were being shafted by the local staff, and won the day on their behalf. No problem, he was reported as saying, "they were MY crew "
