To commemorate the birthday of the locomotive's designer Oliver Vaughan Snell Bulleid, born on 19th September 1882, the Bulleid Society will rename 21C123 Blackmoor Vale as O.V.S. Bulleid from 19th September until the end of October each year.

This is not the first time the locomotive has been so named. The Assistant Works Manager at Eastleigh chose 34023 Blackmore Vale when he paid his own tribute to the Southern's CME. He attached a wooden pattern West Country nameplate O.V. Bulleid to make a photographic record.

The Society have had cast new West Country style nameplates and the artwork for the crest was produced by Richard Green. This was based on the Bulleid family coat of arms, which OVS Bulleid obtained in 1934, this was then enamelled onto mild steel and laser-cut to shape.
