NASA did name OV-101 Enterprise in response to thousands of requests and
suggestions from the public.
 
From everything I have read, OV-101 was constructed only as a test vehicle
and was never intended for spaceflight.  If it was at all realistic to
retrofit Enterprise for spaceflight, it would have been done.
