Default Jepps airport and VOR names ... how used?

In a previous article, "Allan9" said:
This came about by the increased usage of computers in Air Traffic Control.
Computers could not understand or process a VOR(Cleveland VOR) CLE direct
to Cleveland (Hopkins) Airport CLE. So it was decided to change the name
the name of the VOR. So Cleveland VOR becamw Dryer VOR (DBJ). It was
nameed after a very prominent Cleveland aviation family. Milwaukee VOR
became Badger, South Bend VOR became Gipper (wonder why?) and so on.

So why are so many VORs around here still sharing the name and ident with
the local airport? SYR, ROC and BUF are all FAA ids that are shared
between airports and their on-field or nearby VORs. BUF VOR is even part
of the BUFFALO ONE departure from BUF airport, and is part of the feeder
routes for several instrument approaches there.
