I think Jean is well past the "Marvel Girl" name for current use.
Jean should be "Phoenix" but without the Phoenix power, that seems hollow. I feel Jean needs a NEW, unique name. But just what that name should be, well, that is the difficult part! (Which is probably why Marvel never gave her a new one). Nothing too long or unwieldy. Something which denotes power,[/QUOTE]

I’m pretty sure she’s not getting a new code name. She’s going to stay Marvel Girl until they decide to make her Phoenix. I think Hickman’s reconceptializing of the X-Men meant that she had to be Marcel Gjrl as Hickman essentially rewrote the past of the X-Men and has later plans for the Phoenix. I think Hickman’s stories are meant to be basis for MCU X-Men. Living on Krakoa, different society, resurrection. This is to differentiate them from the failed Fox X-Men.
Hickman took time to fully bring Otherworld, Arrako, Saturnyne, and other cosmic elements into the fold. He has moved further into combining mutants with magic. Apocalypse has become a sorcerer and now we see Selene who was always a mutant sorceress. Magik has become bigger too. Look at X of Swords. The Shi’ar are next.
Also I think she is brought back as Marvel Girl to reestablish her. X-Men Res had her as a leader. But Hickman, when he rebooted the X-Men temporarily focused on the visions of Xavier, Apocalypse, Moira, and Magneto and the younger X-Men were pushed to the side for awhile. We’re only now really seeing the younger ones truly get to do things. And yes the first t third teams of X-Men I am calling younger.
