No, it was called the Concorde until it was retired from the BA and Air France fleets.

No, it was always Concorde.
There was a Russian version created during the cold war, which looked almost identical and utilised the same technology (a little bit of industrial espionage there methinks), but that was nick-named the Concordski.
To my knowledge there has never been a plane called the Consort.

It was always called Concorde.
Did you know that there was a huge argument between the British and the French about whether it should be spelt with an 'e'?
The Brits wanted 'Concord', the French wanted 'Concorde'
As usual, the Brits gave in to the French.

Nope- It was called Concorde when it first left the aircaft hangar, and remained that until it's tyres hit the tarmac at Hearthrow airport, after it's last flight.

No.
It was always called Concorde. Note: it was never, ever, ever called "the concorde".
