Thats true. Although in some instances they do change codes.
JFK in NYC was known as Idlewild Int'l until a few weeks after Kennedy's assassination in 1963. It was renamed and the code was changed to JFK.
Personally, I think DHK would be better than DHA.
Interestingly enough, I believe Canada is the only country that uses a convention with their codes, all begin with YY-, eg Toronto Pearson is YYZ.
