A similar story happened with the F-35
.
In 1938, the Lockheed P-38 Lightning was designed and entered into service, and eventually became a revolutionary fighter aircraft. 2 engines, and a really high top speed for its era, as well as nose-placed armament and the capability to hold bombs, it was a super capable aircraft
In 1997 when the Lockheed YF-22 was being tested, it was originally going to be called the Lightning II, or the SuperStar, both coined from previous aircraft, but it was eventually just called the Raptor, as it is meant to strike its prey. Slightly later, the Lockheed YF-35 was being tested, and that was officially nicknamed the Lightning II, as the F-35 was a super capable aircraft in Multirole

Something kinda cool:
The company that made this aircraft, Republic, was also around during WW2. As many know, the Thunderbolt II was designed after the big 'ole gun under the nose. They stuck a massive bathtub in and a bunch of flight controls, and boom! You have a mini flying tank that can take out anything (even though there haven't been any air to air kills, due to its low speed, besides helicopters)
During WW2, the Republic corporation designed an aircraft around a really powerful and new engine, the PW Double Wasp. This aircraft was designed to be super fast, have a massive range, and an unmatched climb rate as well as the capability to hold bombs and 8 .50 cals. Eventually, the USAAF entered this design into service, and it was called the P-47 Thunderbolt
.
These aircraft both defined purposes for their time period, and forevermore changed the world, with the P-47s being used by the Mexican air force under the "Aztec Eagles," and the A-10 working on counterinsurgency during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
