I’ll drop my coins here too.

Yes, this is “military naming sence” alright, which usually based on associations and charades.
Prime example: NATO designations
Or american tanks bear generals’ names. M41 Walton Walker Bulldog, M1 Creighton Williams Abrams Jr., M3 - Robert Edward Lee, XM551 Philip Henry Sheridan, M46/48 George Smith Patton Jr., M4 William Tecumseh Sherman a.k.f. “War is Hell” and so on.
Mostly Soviet cannon artillery named after flowers. Legend says all that poetry bullshit comes from arty’s muzzle flash resemble these flowers’ blooms. 2S1 Carnation, 2S4 Tulip, 2S5 Hyacinth, 2S7 Peony.
But Rocket artillery named after weather: BM21 (“Hail”), BM27 “Hurricane”, BM30 “Tornado/Whirlwin”. Figures.
I can’t say any more “consistent” naming schemes off the bat, but it is there, in the every army of this worold.
