Well, they are obviously not secret. Which raises the question, why use codenames at all, if you don't keep them secret?

Dictionary.com's definiton of renegade:
ren-e-gade   /ˈrɛnɪˌgeɪd/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [ren-i-geyd] Show IPA Pronunciation

–noun 1. a person who deserts a party or cause for another.

2. an apostate from a religious faith.

–adjective 3. of or like a renegade; traitorous.

The NY Times has posted plenty of Secret-level stuff. Payback won’t be fun for them.

The NYT lets out plans for secret raids. Why not release these names. It all fits.

The idea behind the code names is to have an easily pronounced name that has the clear distinction of being a specific individual.

Makes for clearer and less ambiguous communication among the SS folks if they have to act hastily.

And the names can and do change over time, I understand.

They probably already have separate names or designations that are used but not published depending on the situation or occasion.
