I've always wondered if British warplanes were given official names after ww1 just to avoid these nicknames not suitable for serious combat machines. Hawker, for example, used all the English words for extreme weather conditions to avoid such nicknames as Pup, Camel or Snipe (refers, I guess, to common snipe, the bird that sounds like a sheep) its predecessors products had.
