Tom answered the question on July 9, 2003 but, he was off by 1 mission. The Command and Lunar Module names for Apollo 9 were Gumdrop and Spider, respectively.
There were no other "names" given to the prior missions other than "generic" ones:

Mission name ----- Apollo 1
Command Module---CM-012
Service Module---SM-012
Due to the tragic accident which killed Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Edward H. White and Roger B. Chaffee, the mission name of Apollo 1 was officially retired.
However, prior to Apollo 1, there were 3 test flights of the Saturn 1-B rocket, known as AS-201, 202, 203 that were done as part of the Apollo program. (Apollo 1 was also known as AS-204.)
There were no flights designated as Apollo 2 or Apollo 3 and the "official" designation of numbers following Apollo, began with Apollo 4.
