I would have thougth (somewhat tongue in cheek) that they'd not really go for that name in cooperation with the RAF.
Well its true that the Luftwaffe do tend to favour the original name, Eurofighter.

Although of late they have shown a new interest in its air to surface role. To the extent they will now replace one squadron of Tornados, even though that will entail keeping a squadron of air to air F4s on a while longer. Perhaps the loss of all those tanks, to its 'namesake' had something to do with it.
