Cassandra new code name should be named after an Asian Bat Species.
Plenty of names to choose from.

Yeah, that's a great idea which means DC probably won't use it.

[Digifiend]

Ghost Bat (which is an actual species of bat), maybe?

Sounds like a knock-off of Gwen Stacy's codename, Ghost-Spider.

Usually the best names are those that make reference to something in the character's history or personality. Dick kept Nightwing for so long because it ended up having meaning with his influences from Batman and Superman. Barbara's Oracle name stayed because that was pretty much what she was, a technological Oracle. Cass has always been a little bat. Until some new character development is given to her, I'm afraid we're going to have some difficulty with a new long term name.
Although she already has short term identities with Kasumi, Black Bat, Orphan. I think she had an ex-love interest who called her "Little Bat" at some stage. In the martial art world she is "One Who Is All" but I think that was wiped away when her origin changed from being trained by the League to being an experiment under Mother.

Idk, Chinese rufous horseshoe bat is a bit of mouthful for a superhero name

No, it shouldn't. Too many folks out there hung up on ethnicity. Best name for the win.

yeah, i gave the list a quick glance and couldn't see a good name in there.

Phantom Bat? Ghost Bat?

If we can't have Black Bat, why not Blackbird?

Well, Anissa Pierce doesn't have it trademarked...

This was in Batman Black & White #5 within the Nightwing story. Multiple bat family photos with Cass!

What is the canon status of the Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey comic series? Is it Earth Prime or an Elseworld?

[John Venus]

Echo Bat? Baby Bat? Little Bat? Bat Bat?

How about Naked-rumped pouched Bat? Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

The Amanda Conner one was set in Harley ongoing continuity.

For Cass' codename, what about dipping into Chinese folklore? Something like Jian (which is what they refer to things like poltergeists) or Jiangshi (which is what they call their vampires) would work well.

Definitely not!

Then some writer would get the bright idea to turn her into a vampire!!!
