Comments about Vanguards carrying names are incorrect. BEA abandoned aircraft naming with the introduction of the "red square" livery. All Vanguards were allocated names, but as they were all delivered in the "red square" livery, they never carried them in BEA service. Similarly, all Viscounts lost their names when repainted in the new livery. BOAC had already abandoned aircraft naming, the Stratocruisers and Argonauts were the last to carry names, no Comets or Britannias were ever named.
