Isn't a two-word name NATO standard, or is that just the US? I'm pretty sure Advent Crown was the 1997 offensive, I think I read that in
Black Madonna.
Also, Butterfly might sound too peaceful? Churchill long ago called for code names to neither be too rough nor too soft, he didn't want to have to tell a widow her man died during Operation Bunnyhug.
I used to pull out a dictionary, and open it at random for code names.
