Heck I think I can come up with better names in 10 minutes. SideMiss (Side channel attack on misprediction), BrainHijack (Branch-Indirect Hijack), SpeckLeak (Speculative Kernel Leak) for Variants 1-3 respectively.

I'm not saying those are a masterpiece, but at least they tell you *something*, unlike Spectre, Spectre, and Meltdown.

Could also be BrandMiss for Variant 1 if you want to emphasize the symmetry with Variant 2 (Branch-direct Mispredict). Also pun on shitty vuln branding.
