Never been to a baptism with someone just quietly going under.

I've been to few, if ever any, "Jesus name baptisms" where I recall anyone (being themselves baptised), directly prior to being baptised, ever spoke the name of Jesus out loud, rather they gave answers to the baptiser, i.e.: when asked for confirmation if they had repented of their sins, asked for forgiveness? They would nod or answer yes. Generally, the last time they actually called on the name of Jesus was 20 mins earlier during a smash face prayer meeting, and that was the last time they vocalized the name of Jesus until atleast when they came up out of the water. The baptiser did the vocalizing of Jesus. "Having repented of your sins, I now baptism you innthe name of Jesus for the remission of sins".
I don't recall ever seeing/hearing a baptiser encouraging the candidate to call on the name of Jesus AT baptism.
So, do you guys view that as scriptural allignment, "being baptised calling on the name of the Lord"?
