When a person, or a secret project, is well known under a codename, why not use that for the title? And due to where codenames usually pop up, Spy Fiction works are the usual subject of this trope.
Sometimes how Protagonist Title-type Superhero comic books are done. And rare but obvious cases put the word "Codename" right in the title!
Possibly a Double-Meaning Title, which is only for titles with multiple meanings relevant to the work.
But it often overlaps with Event Title, The Place, Character Title, or MacGuffin Title, for being something that happens or will happen, a place, someone, or something.
Usually a type of Spy Speak.

The earlier Quiller novels had Mad Lib Thriller Titles. This changed with "Northlight", after which every novel was titled "Quiller (name)". The real name of the protagonist is never revealed; Quiller is just his code name which members of The Bureau use when referring to him, while Quiller uses whatever cover name he's been given on a mission.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater features Operation Snake Eater. The goal was for Naked Snake to assassinate the founding member of the Cobra Unit, The Boss, and to destroy Sokolov's nuclear carrying weapon. At least that's what Snake's officials told him as more of the story unfolds.
