So far Panther (used at USAF fighter weapons school IIRC), Bolt (not used by pilots), and Raven (Used by the Navy during a testing cruise IIRC) have been used but nothing is universal yet (ala Viper)

If it had to be a name that was a bigger bird than eagle, then I'd be all for 'Roc'. But because it's so electronics dependent 'i-roc' would be a nice nickname.
