I could also mention _Archaeopteryx_ / _Archaeornis_ / _Archaeornithomimus_  
/ _Archaeornithoides_ / Archaeoraptor / _Protarchaeopteryx_ / _Protopteryx_ 
/ _Protoavis_ ...  but I think that might put you into migraine territory.

Now that the *frelling paper* (sensu Tom Holtz and Rygel XVI) is finally 
out, we're left with no name at all for the new feathered theropod specimen. 
 Damn - I had money on _Sinarchaeornitholestes_!
