This is the way it is typically in OP churches, from what I have observed.
However, ALL should be done in the name of Jesus, right? In the OP baptisms, it seems that the most important thing is what the baptizor says over the person being baptized, but really... in all reality, the one being baptized should be the one calling on the name of the Lord, and the baptizor should have a more passive role in the baptism.
Further... why would you NOT want the name of Jesus spoken over you by the baptizor? Why would you not want to confess that you are a sinner and call on the Name of Jesus during baptism? After all, it is biblical, as pointed out by Esiasis in another thread with this verse:
Acts 22:16 "And now, why tarriest thou? arise and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord."
