The name "Spitfire" for the British fighter developed in the 1930s was apparently suggested by Sir Robert McLean, against the wishes of its developers. The Type 224 did not work out, but the name was kept for the subsequent Type 300. The designer, R.J. Mitchell, did not particularly like the name but an alternative name, the "Shrew," was considered even worse.
