We should consider non-bird names and look to things like Turkish Mythology for powerful symbolic names.
A simple word, that can be pronounced all around the world, but has great meaning
I say we adopt:
"Iye"
so it would be
JF-17 Thunder-Iye; but Pronounced "Thunder-Eye" but in Turkish it would seen as Spirit of Thunder
According to the wikipedia page: a spirit in
Turkic mythology who is a guardian, patron or protector
[1] of a place, person, lineage, nation, natural assets or an animal. Although such spirits are called "masters" or "posessors", they are
not necessarily subject to worship.

The Thunder-Iye name will allow people to know that a Thunder Fighter can be upgraded to a higher standard, and we don't have to ditch the Thunder name; Similar to Mirage 2000 and Mirage 2000-5
@Hakikat ve Hikmet
What do you think? Does the Iye name carry any bad or haram meaning? Just want to check before be push this any further. Also are their any Turkish products that already use this name? Also how would this name be received in Turkey?
More Details on the Name "Iye" for wikipedia

Ezen (familiar spirit, protector spirit) has the same meaning (owner, possessor) in Mongolian language.

An İye guides, helps, or protects animals, individuals, lineages, nations, and even inanimate assets such as mountains or rivers. According to the shamanic worldview, everything is alive, bearing an inherent virtue and power. In this context power animals represent a person's connection to all life, their qualities of character, and their power. They are the helping or ministering spirit or familiar which empowers individuals and is essential for success in any venture undertaken. It is believed that most persons have power animals, or tutelary spirits, which empower and protect them from harm – this is comparable to
tutelary deities. In these traditions, the İye may also lend the wisdom or attributes of its kind to those under its protection.
Also each town or city had one or more
İye, whose protection was considered particularly vital in time of war and siege. An İye is spirit who is regarded as the tutelary spirit or protector of a nation, place, clan, family, or person.
