I done a google search and I can only come up with 5:

Throughout the winter and spring months of 1944, the details of Neptune were 
settled and fitted into place. Planners at SHAEF (Supreme Headquarters, 
Allied Expeditionary Force) picked an early June date for D Day, with the 
landings coming over five beaches code-named, from east to west, Sword, 
Juno, Gold, Omaha, and Utah.

"Sword" was the code name for the extreme left beach of the five landing
areas of the Normandy Invasion. It occupied a 5-mile (8-kilometre) stretch
of the French coastline

The 45 Commandos, as part of 1 Special Service Brigade, took part in the
Sword Beach landing, which consisted of two narrow beaches at La Breche.
(Codenamed Queen White and Queen Red)

so there was in theory 7 code names  this was found here
http://www.worldthroughthelens.com/d-day.htm  so do we write 5 names or
seven ???  Dee

Thanks for finding that out Dee.

I think I'd put Queen White, Queen Red, Juno, Gold, Omaha, Utah in that case
