Off-topic: At that point do we run out of software names? At least "Ramses" is an acronym for something reasonable, it feels like a lot of them intentionally make no sense.
They just get recycled. I've worked on projects with the same code name at different companies.
By the way, if your company is in desperate financial difficulty, circling the drain with increasing speed, and the management cobbles up a "save the company" project and they name it "Falcon" it is WELL past time to polish your resume and bug out. I've seen that code name several times, and it's spelled utter doom (two bankruptcies and one buyout that was worse than going bankrupt).
In my head the conversation goes something like this:
----
[Int. meeting of High Management]
MARKETING HONCHO: "This is it. We're going to save the company with this new product. We're calling it Project Phoenix. Rise from the ashes! When can engineering start?"
ENGINEERING DIRECTOR: "Uh, don't Phoenixes burn themselves to death? Isn't that kind of a negative thing? The teams are a little burned out from the last save-the-company death march."
"You have a point. Let's call it something like . . . Fee-- no, um, Fun--, no . . . um, Falcon. That's it. Project Falcon."
"I guess that's better."
"Go save the company."
"Right. I'll just pop down to engineering and cancel all the vacations. When can you tell us about the product?"
"Later, when we decide what color it should be."

I have insufficient data, so it's possible that any project named after a large bird is bad juju. Stay safe :-)
I have a pet theory that as an organization increases in size, the probability that it will develop a tool named Fusion approaches unity.
PayPal and U.S. Bank have internal tools named Fusion. (I want to say that Cisco Systems does too, but I can't remember for certain.) Oracle, VMWare, and Autodesk all have products named Fusion (Fusion Applications, VMWare Fusion, and Fusion 360, respectively). IBM has two products named Fusion (Fusion Commerce and FusionAnalytics). Google used (naturally) to have a product named Fusion Tables.
