How about a useless "who gives a crap" trivial question about the Apollo 11 Mission?

The Apollo 11 CSM and LM were named Columbia and Eagle. Very patrotic. However, earlier NASA documents showed that these two components originally had two different names... somewhat less dignified names.

What were the names?
