"We come into this world alone and we leave the same way. The time we spent in between - time spent alive, sharing, learning together... is all that makes life worth living." - Jean Grey
I hope Jean stays in the green mini dress forever.
For anyone interested Si Spurrier was on this weeks Xplain the X-men podcast talking a bit about Way of X again.
I agree on Marvel Woman sounding fine as code name. Though i'm pretty sure it still won't become heavily associated with Jean Grey in pop culture since she has been cemented in it with her civilian name primarily. Marvel Girl or Marvel Woman are therefor both equaly meaningless to the character at large, because the codename never really stuck in public perception with the character.
Similar to how Kitty Pryde is rememebred as Kitty Pryde in pop culture and it's rare enough people will remember that her official code name has been Shadowcat for a long while (though i've seen someone who is weirdly adamant on calling her Sprite). Even the recent "Kate" won't stick because public perception is based around the "Kitty" version.
The comics can try to change all they want, the public mind has seemingly been made up and it won't change. Especialy as the comics have increasingly diminished in relevance to said overall perception of the character.
Also same reason applies to how i see her wearing that old getup. It's out of date, it looks boring and nobody outside limited parts of the comic fandom seems to associates it with Jean Grey since she is defined by the Phoenix outfit and perhaps the outfit from the cartoons.

It was pretty clear why they decided to show her in the look before going phoenix but now that JDW has clearly explained it for the Jean fans hopefully they can give that a rest and stop harassing the xmen creators about it.
