What name would you have picked?

Tell you the truth, I dunno what I would have picked.
What I don't like is that someone, somewhere in the Pentagon (or, more likely, civilian leadership) decided a named which had very specific wording which reads like marketing; sort of a like commercial for a war.
My attitude takes nothing away from those who execute the operation. I have to wonder, though, why execrcises get adj/noun randomly generated names, like "Nifty Dolphin" or "Simple Toolhouse" or some such.
What's wrong with Gulf War II?
