Naming the SLS

[Aurelius]

I there any consideration being to naming the SLS (Space Launch System) in the tradition of Apollo which was launched by Saturn 5? NASA seemed to drop the ball on the naming issue when they stuck with the development titles 'Space Shuttle' and 'International Space Station'.

Artemis was Apollo's sister.

I can't think offhand of any suitable name that is family friendly or would be allowed by space.com . . . . :-(

I'm at a loss for a good, family-friendly name that also passes muster with space.com.
