Leading up to EW, Yoshi-P dodged the pressure of being the one to choose the JP tier V spell suffix for all of Final Fantasy for the rest of all time by just calling Fire V and Blizzard V the FF-coded equivalents of High Fire II and High Blizzard II. If this spell isn't Burst it'll probably just be High Thunder II or III, though it could be something not called Thunder at all a la Despair.
Pretty much spot on regarding the Thunder name.

There is a good chance this is actually "Burst". Burst is the thunder-type spell equivalent of Flare, Freeze, Tornado, Quake, Flood, Holy and Doomsday (names taken from various FF and Bravely titles). Already exists in PvP, with a slightly different animation.

Of course chance it could just be "High Thunder IV" (implying there is also a High Thunder III) but I hope for better. Would be nice if BLM finally had the thunder equivalent to Flare and Freeze.
