They did use letters, but they started with Gen X, because X was a cool letter in the 80s. Gen Y was changed to millennials because that was the time period they grew up in. Then Gen Z, which is the end of the alphabet, so they restarted, but with the Greek alphabet for gen alpha.
Someone should rename the gens. I never know what people are refering to with the arbitrary names. Maybe gen a, b and c would work.

don’t forget that the people that started naming the generations called themselves the “greatest generation”
