[Pacific Rim] How were they able to give the Kaiju appropriate names without seeing what they looked like first?

It seems that they assigned codenames to the Kaiju as soon as they appeared on their tracking systems, but they couldn't have known what they looked like until the Jaegers got there and saw them up close and personal. So how do they know to name them things like "Knifehead"?

They had incredibly detailed scanners on the Rift at all times giving them live feeds of the things coming through. This is how they immediately knew the classification of each kaiju. They'd also get silhouettes from multiple angles right off the bat, allowing them to model the creature immediately.
