The first four locomotives included the word 'silver' in their names because they were intended to haul the ''Silver Jubilee'' train. 2512 ''Silver Fox'' of this batch carried a stainless-steel fox near the centre of the streamline casing on each side, made by the Sheffield steelmakers [[Samuel Fox and Company]].{{r|Yeadon73|p=120}} The next batch of A4s were named after birds, particularly those that were fast flyers, Gresley being a keen bird-watcher. Five (4488–92) were named after British Empire countries to haul the new Anglo-Scottish ''Coronation'' train; and two (4495/6), intended to haul the new ''West Riding Limited'', received names connected to the wool trade: ''Golden Fleece'' and ''Golden Shuttle''.<ref name=Boddy> {{cite book |last1=Boddy |first1=M.G. |last2=Fry |first2=E.V. |last3=Hennigan |first3=W. |last4=Proud |first4=P. |last5=Yeadon |first5=W.B. |author-link5=Willie Yeadon |editor-last=Fry |editor-first=E.V. |title=Locomotives of the L.N.E.R., part 1: Preliminary Survey |date=July 1963 |publisher=[[Railway Correspondence and Travel Society|RCTS]] |location=Potters Bar |page=52}}</ref>

4498 was the hundredth Gresley Pacific to be built and was named after him. Subsequently, some other A4s were later renamed, usually to names of directors of the LNER.
