intelligence agencies don’t use cute code names for things like this since it makes it easier to work out the operation scope or intent

It's kind of amusing that during WWII Germany had a penchant for choosing meaningful code names for some of their secret programs, names that actually gave important information to the Allies. Knickebein and Wotan were noteworthy examples, names given to German electronic bomber navigation systems.
