There has never been any question in my mind. Anybody who has served in an air force knows that nicknames given by those associated with operating an aircraft are usually irreverent and don't sound like advertising slogans. The name Jug was first given due to the shape of the airplane rather than its supposed prowess, which was not yet established. The name Juggernaut originated later, likely with someone penning a PR piece on the aircraft.
