"The Hadean time period is often referred to as the 'Hadean Eon.'"
A geologic eon is a very large period of time, typically encompassing billions of years. Examples include the Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic eons in the Earth's history.
In geologic time, the Hadean is the first EONof Earth's history, from it's formation 4.57 billion years ago to about 4 billion years ago. The Hadean is not an era, which is a smaller subdivision of geologic time.

The Age of Crinoids
Earth's temperature was too high for solid rocks to form
Precambrian is an informal term for the time before the Cambrian Period, the first period of the Phanerozoic Eon. The Precambrian consists of three eons, the Hadean, the Archean, and the Proterozoic. The Hadean Eon is about 760,000,000 years long. The Archean Eon is about 1,300,000,000 years long. The Proterozoic Eon is about 1,960,000,000 years long This comes to a total of 4,025,000,000 years.
Earth's temperature was too high for solid rocks to form.
The oldest eon of geologic time is the Archaean Eon of the Precambrian period. The oldest rocks and fossils date from this time, about 3.8 to 2.5 billion years ago. (Prior to that, the Hadean Eon began with the formation of the Earth. No geologic record exists from the Hadean, during which the Earth cooled from its molten state.)
No nickname because people didn't give nicknames in this time period. They are a modern invention.
Jurassic Period. That's pretty much it. Its the middle of the Age of Dinosaurs.
