Actually, the initial reason that name probably got popular is because that is the term for the Ryan and Esposito counterparts in the Richard Castle book ABC is publishing for more media. I've actually read a few chapters of the Heatwave - Ryan is something like Riley and Esposito is Ochoa, and the duo is "affectionately referred to as Roach".
