Gazelle seems to carry more of the characteristics we would want (nimble, quick). Grizzly carries rather grim connotations
 of mauling, lumbering, and having a rather nasty disposition. I would not want that in a cloud.

Also, as an adjective, grizzly means 'showing characteristics of age, especially having grey or white hair'.

While the name may sound cool, it is actually ill fitting.
