I suggest not having any name other than "The Southern Army" or any
other similar descriptive term ("Army of the Sourthern Region").

- I'm still crispy over the whole "Southern regional name" discussion.

- I cannot think of a period name for an army, other than things like
  "the English army" or "the Duke of Norfolk's men".

- I emphatically do not want a non-period name, especially one with
  modern resonance.  E.g., "Rolling Thunder" is a group of good
  people, but an older person or someone with knowledge of recent
  military history thinks "the Vietnam War".
