I reckon that's enough examples. There are plenty of others.

Didn't our forefathers fight a long, bloody war to get away from fealty?

IMHO, why go with high-toned, symbolic, complicated names? "The FALCON Party" doesn't say anything. This is a startup operation. Keep the name simple, memorable and to the point.

If you asked me my political party affiliation and I replied, "The FALCON Party," would you know anymore than what you knew before you asked the question? If you asked my political party affiliation and I replied, "The Conservative Party," would you have at least a general idea of my political philosophy?

You left out the common use of it for the last 200 years.
