My answer is probably gonna change depending on the context. Are these code names specific to a group? Do they represent the function of the members, or are they personality based? Or is it just commonplace in the setting for people to have such names?

 

Green Pigeon, Red Rooster, Grey Wolf, Shadowling, Meat Sack, Whirlwind, Bud Light (or any beer brand), and Papa/Mama Goose

 

Huntsman, Grifter, Archer, Bowman, Brigand, Captain, Ranger, Knight, Wolf'sbane, Shogun, Samurai, Ninja, Nightmare, Assassin, Berserker, Marauder, Pirate

 

The code names are exactly what they classed as!

Sorry Crooks, was a bit too much not to pass up. Mother Goose has left the Nest. Repeat, Mother Goose has left the nest. Big Bad, you are a go! Repeat, Big Bad, you are a go!

 

My thought would be to give them super common names that would be hard to identify. Tanner, Fletcher, Baker, Butcher, Tailor, Brewer, and so on. There are some medieval professions and positions you could throw in for flavor and depth as well (like Chatelaine or Seneschal). If I were giving someone a code name I'd want it to be something that wouldn't lead back to them. Like, I wouldn't want my super-ranger to be named "Arrowwolf" since that would be easy to figure out. "Butcher," though, would be somewhat appropriate but generic enough not to identify anyone with specific skills.
