So they already just call it “Roman.”

From the article:

“Anywhere you point Roman, somebody’s going to be able to say, ‘I discovered something,’” says cosmologist Jason Rhodes of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif. “Roman is going to touch or affect nearly all areas of astrophysics.”
