Question TSR2 name ???

I've always wondered what the TSR2 would have been named ... if the RAAF had taken it up, as they did the Canberra, diplomatically calling it "Sydney", or even "Perth" would surely have led to hilarity, (I mean, who'd have got to love a craft called "Sid" or "Perce", and Their Airships do NOT like "lower deck"-type jests and japes) while "Darwin" would have been presumptuous.
Just a thought, for the time before the super-beast was allotted to squadrons ...
