TSR-2 (Merged)

This is probably a silly question, but does anyone know if the TSR2 was given a name (or if one was under consideration for it)?

I'd always assumed that the cancellation of the project meant that naming was never considered. However, I was re-reading notes I'd taken at the PRO about the RAF's intended procurement of the F-111 (which would've been called 'Merlin' in RAF service, BTW) and realised that policy at the time called for a name to be considered either at first flight or when the contract was placed. So did anyone ever consider naming the beast?
