Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, from Missiles to the Moon to Mars - Nathalia Holt, Erin Bennett, Hachette Audio

"Some of the men hung out so often in the computer room that the women gave them girls' names so they would fit in. Poor Roger was given the unfortunate nickname Bubbles, while Len Efron had been rechristened Leona."

 

This bit surprised me, but I suppose if every other physical area was going to be, to varying degrees, men's space, the nicknames could keep the one women's space, the computer room, from being taken over. (Note: I don't think any of the computers were consciously thinking this when they gave the guys nicknames.)
