Names for these things already exist.

 

2017 BFR is Nova Class because it's more powerful than the Saturn 5 but can still use the pads built for Saturn and Nova rockets.

the 2016 ITS is a bit small for"Seadragon Class" but I'd say it squeaks in. (seadragon was a 450 ton to orbit proposal)

and for something too big even for seadragon class, theres "Orion Class."

Before Orion it's Nexus, about 1000 tonnes to orbit. Then it's Orion.

If Elon does name the first BFR Heart of Gold, perhaps rockets will be divided into pre-Gold and post-Gold vehicles.

From what I know about Elons naming scheme, it's more likely to be Cargo Cult or Prime Mover.
