How about the F-35 Menance; or the F-35 Supressor for cool names for the new fighter? What do people think of those two name ideas? Also there is the idea of the F-35 Suak or F-35 Fox in name of Indian Tribes in America that fought the whites in the last attempt to regain their village in Rock Island. Also there is the F-35 Cheyenne as an idea. Yes I know it was a utility helicopter of the 50s but they were an Indian tribe that fought very fiercely. Also there could be the F-35 Modoc. The F-35 Navajo, The F-35 Wovoka. See the United States is nowhere near close to running out of fighter names if they draw on some of the Indian tribes that still exist. This is only a brief number of possible names from an article in World Book on the Indian Wars. If it is a strike fighter then calling it the F-35 Supressor would be a good name for its role of suppressing enemy air, ground and sea assets and destroying them.
 
like you say, the Army uses Native tribes to name their helicopters. In the end it probably won't matter much what the official name is, the men flying them will come up with their own nicknames that fit better.

"The Flying Tennis Court" is one of my favorites for the F-15.

Menace sounds cool, but sounds like an irritating bug you don't want to bite you. Supressor... also sounds cool but doesn't really stir anything up like the Brit storm names, or "falcon" or "eagle" or "phantom."
