Default Naming 'the stick'

It's 2010ish and the SRB+J2/RL-60/SSME+CEV stack rises majestically away
from the cape for its first orbital mission. You can bet mission control
wont be calling the launch vehicle 'the stick', or 'the pogo' (or 'the
monstrosity' for some). NASA'll want something more inspiring
(mythological??) than that.

So come on people - we've had all sorts of suggestions for naming the
Shuttle derived heavy lifter variants (Ares, Magnum, Hercules etc). What
monikers might be floating around NASA back rooms as we speak for 'the
stick'?

I vote we call it 'the Griffin', but somehow I don't expect that'll get
up...
