4th Army - you could use with the 5th to have the Nile and then the 4th could be Commonwealth Army (Southern Africa) (CASA) with a large African Commonwealth component = maybe Commonwealth Forces (Southern Africa)
5th Army - I do like the Nile - you could always use mission creep to justify the incorrect name!
6th Army - How about British Forces Command, Central America (BFCCA)
7th Army - British Forces Pacific Command
8th Army - like that name, alternatively the Middle East Field Force rings a bell.. :-)
Changing the name from army to Command or similar allows the unit to be purple (tri-service).
Nicknames could be fun!

Yup... the British Army ended up following the US into conflicts around the world. The bulk of the British field armies have large commonwealth components... especially since my campaign has the slow buildup to the twilight war. Threats around the world definitely caused all kinds of problems for the entire world.
I think I'll do that.. change the name to command and have the "British Army of the <blank>" as their nicknames used by media and others as well.
