Phoenix.
It's associated with her across media platforms. It sounds cool. It works on a meta level given her history. It just fits with Cyclops, too. Cyclops and Phoenix. The cadence is just right such that it rolls off the tongue.

That's how I feel. Jean has earned the name Phoenix. Even Jeen herself. After the Phoenix incinerated Jeen, Jeen mastered the Phoenix from within the White Hot Room and made it bring her back. Then when she was touched by a Poison who took over her body and absorbed her (killing her), Jean's mind survived and she recreated her BODY.
Adult Jean died on the space shuttle, became Phoenix, killed herself, came back, got killed by a Sentinel and came back from that, died on the space shuttle when Logan mercy killed her, then died as Xorn, they came back and Endsong but let herself go back to the after life, then came back in Phoenix: Resurrection. In Phoenix: Resurrection she vanquished the Phoenix. Seeing that both Jean and Jeen have shown they can completely control the Phoenix (and bring themselves back from the dead with or without help from the Phoenix), Jean is rightfully codenamed Phoenix.
I don't think Jean needs a codename, but I like the idea of her taking over for Professor X and being referred to as Professor Grey (she'd need to find some time to get a PhD first).

She'll probably go back to being Phoenix once Dark Phoenix comes out, just like how Eddie Brock went back to hosting the Venom symbiote right before the Venom movie hit the box office.
