Only four Black Fives are confirmed to have received names, though seven have been named in preservation (see below). All of them were named after Scottish regiments. There is also some evidence that 5155 briefly carried the name The Queens Edinburgh during the Second World War, but photographic confirmation of this is lacking.
The Lancashire Fusilier was one such. 45407 LMS 5407 was built by Armstrong Whitworth in 1937.
