I have no problem sticking with the name Aanca, and I don't really like the name Angryph. The name makes it sound angry.

I don't like Angryph either for the same reason.  But I'm also not fond of the idea of continuing to call it Aanca, since that was based on a mistake.  I do like H.G.'s idea of Hippogryph for the knight-then-bishop (ski-angryph).  Maybe Manticore for the wazir-then-bishop (angryph)?  I think someone suggested that on here earlier and I like it.
