Why didn't the RAF give the VC-10 a name?

The VC-10 is the only aircraft in RAF squadron service from the post First World War era that didn't have an official name as far as I know, sticking with the manufacturers designation instead. I know the aircraft had a number of unofficial names, the Vickers Funbus being one of my favourites, but never an official one, does anyone know the reason for this?
