Sorry, can't think of any fancy names applied to
any of the land-based systems. :-) Guess it isn't
as romantic as what the Navy had with names like
ADONIS or JASON (if you like horror that one might
be considered "romantic" - :-] ).

Land based/sea based all have the same names. They were assigned by NSA (who
ultimately controls all US Government crypto systems), and were based on names
from Greek mythology, ie., ADONIS, BACCUS, JASON, NESTOR, ORESTES, PONTUS, etc.
By convention they are always written in "all caps".

Sunuvagun!
