Toyota had one that they named 'VanWagon'....

I like 'Vanagon', but it has taken many years of owning several to warm up
to it.

I like 'Transporter', too, as I've owned many over the years.  I even
ordered the chrome hatch lettering from Europe to place on my '87 Westy
(after I have it repainted).

What about:

T1=Splitty
T2=Bay
T3=Brick

T4/T5=Not appreciated enough to warrant any endearing nicknames.  I would
say Minivan, but they're built in Hanover (right?) so they're still part of
the lineage and deserve some respect.

Routan =Minivan.

I think "Vanagon" is a dumb name.  A cross between a Van and a Wagon?  In
the age of classic VW names like Rabbit, Scirocco, Jetta, and Quantum, this
is the best they could come up with?

I like the term "Transporter."  Descriptive, concise, and it looks cool on
the hatch.
