I think that's the rumored NATO designation -- I doubt it's authentic though.
Also sounds too much like "firefox" for my taste. I hope the PLAAF give J-20 a good name. Something cool but not overly aggressive.

The actual source of the NATO Firefang designation for China's J-20 seems unknown.

Black Dragon or Black Tiger, I think, would have been more cultural sympathetic and more menacing!
Does China need a plane with the same name as a USAF aircraft?
Oh well!!!

Check saw-toothed edges off of Martian's list. That clear shot shows the forward landing gear door with saw-toothed edges.

The name of the aircraft is on the buildings in some of the released photos of the J-20. One person, though, mis-translated the Chinese characters as reading "Black Silk" when the correct translation is actually "Black Eagle"
