The Wright "Flyer"?

Yes, but was this a title, such as Titanic, or simply a name, such as ocean
liner....

No, I don't think so. The Flyer name was around at least till 1911,
much to the confusion of folks who want to see the original Flyer in
action this December.

I think that to the Wrights, Flyer was the generic name.

Langley called his aircraft the Aerodrome.
