I liked it better when it was simply named Houston Intercontinental Airport. When it was being built in the 60s, when the main airport was still on the other side of town, it was going to be named Jetero (accent on second syllable) but it didn't fly (pun intended).
I believe that most of the Houston residents still refer to it as Houston Intercontinental Airport. The residents of the city did not vote on the name change.
