> People that create things get to name them.

And if they pick something dumb enough other people get to ignore them.

Depends...

You'll commonly call someone by their pronounced name out of respect, forced or given.

In a situation where someone does something really stupid or annoying and the forced respect isn't there, most people don't.

There is a huge difference between inanimate objects/classes and babies. Don't personify inanimate objects, they hate that!

On inanimate objects: Aluminium was first ratified by the IUPAC as aluminium⁰, with the agreement of its discoverer Sir Humphrey Davy¹, yet one huge nation calls it something else…

On people: nicknames are a thing, are you saying those are universally wrong? But yes, when a person tells me that they'd prefer their name pronounced a different way, or that they'd prefer a different name entirely, or that they don't like the nickname other use for them, you can bet your arse that I'll make the effort to use their preferred name+pronunciation in future.

Let people name their offspring, both biological and technical.

First, it's not a baby, that's a ridiculous comparison.

But also, no, not universally even for babies, especially when the name is something ridiculous like X Æ A-Xii where even parents disagree on pronunciation, or when the person himself uses a "non-specced" variant

A parent may name their baby Elizabeth. Then even the parent might call them Liz or Beth or Betsy or Bit or Bee.

Because PNGs won't answer back when I call them by some "correct" name.

You are aware that kids generally don't get to pick the nicknames they end up being called and their parents definitely don't either.
