How were the names of Normandy d-day beaches selected?

The names of the Normandy D-Day beaches were chosen for operational security and simplicity. Each beach was assigned a code name that would be easy for Allied forces to remember and communicate, while also maintaining a level of secrecy. The names were derived from various sources, including the phonetic alphabet, with "Utah" and "Omaha" chosen for the American landing zones, and "Gold," "Juno," and "SWord" for British and Canadian forces. The use of such names helped to obscure the true nature of the invasion from the enemy.
