TSR 2 Name

I havent heard an offical name like, but I always fancied mosquito as a good name, the aircraft was a hard hitting multi-role platform that excelled in those roles as am sure the TSR2 would have.

As a side line to this does anyone know or heard about a muted plan to stick the AWG-9/AIM-54 cimbo in a variant to make it a interceptor? I often wondered about the idea, i can see some of its attractions, the TSR would have a high dash speed, a good fuel load to enable it to loiter, and the ability to carry a useful suite of missiles.
