How about "Wraith"
Blue Skies
Pat Carpenter

I don't like "Wraith" or "Blue Skies" but I'm all for naming the F-35 "Pat
Carpenter"...

Since Raptor means " Bird of prey" i think the F-35 should go along
the same lines, and since the F-35 is designed to replace the F-16
also, i would call it the Kestrel wich is in the falcon family. what
sucks is that the V-22 is called the osprey, which is also a bird of
prey. that would be a good name for the VTOL version of the F-35,
since it is primarily going to the marines and friendly navies.

OK, if you're gonna go for names, how about the F-35 Rumsfeld (aka Buzzard)?

How about calling it 'The Atkins' as it needs to lose about 3,500 pounds

Have you heard the one about Lift Demons powering aircraft ? I reckon
the F35 has gained so much weight because the X35 lift Demon, on
winning the competition, celebrated by eating the losing Lift Demon
that was powering the Boeing competitor. That celebratory feast has
since proven too much for the LM Lift Demon, causing it to put on too
much weight.

reminds me of a Jo Brand joke:

"inside every fat person there's a thin person trying to get out
....it's because we eat them"

If it has shch a screamer of an engine sound-wise, call her the Banshee.
Banshee II anyone?

I suppose "Mulciber" would be too obscure....
