Are Agent Barton and Agent Romanoff ever called 'Hawkeye' and 'Black Widow' in the MCU?
I recently read an article that claims Hawkeye, Black Widow and Scarlet Witch are never called by their comic-book names in the movies. While I'm pretty sure this is true for the Witch, I'm less sure about Black Widow and Hawkeye, partly because they've been around for longer and in more movies.
Now, I recall Selvig calling Barton "The Hawk" right before his first scene in Avengers, but I'm talking about references involving the full names: "Black Widow" and "Hawkeye".
Are there no characters that call them Hawkeye or Black Widow? Is there not even an Easter Egg referring to these monikers?

Yes, at least once.
Barton is referred to as Hawkeye in Age of Ultron:
Laura Barton: What about Nat and Dr. Banner? How long has that been going on?
Clint Barton: Has what? [Laura laughs]
Laura Barton: You are so cute.
Clint Barton: Nat and...and Banner?
Laura Barton: I'll explain when you're older, Hawkeye.
Romanoff is referred to as Widow in Age of Ultron:
James Rhodes: Come on, Cap.
Steve starts pulling on the hammer and manages to budge it a little; Thor looks a little alarmed. Steve still fails to lift it; Thor laughs with relief]
Thor: Nothing.
Tony Stark: And?
Bruce Banner: Widow?
Natasha Romanoff: Oh, no no. That's not a question I need answered.
Tony Stark: All deference to the man who wouldn't be king, but it's rigged.
Clint Barton: You bet your ass.
In Avengers, the Russian general calls Natasha "The famous Black Widow" in Russian
Specifically, he speaks the line “Знаменитая Чёрная Вдова” (“Znamenitaya Chyornaya Vdova”), subtitled onscreen as “The famous Black Widow”; Google Translate confirms the translation.
A computer screen also has their names as:"Natasha Romanoff. Black Widow" and "Clint Barton. Hawkeye"
At 03:04 in this YouTube clip:

Just having it in the on-screen subtitles would be sufficient and official. OTOH, it is nice to know that what's actually said by the actor means what the on-screen subtitles say. The actual process was probably that the script was originally written with something like:General: [in Russian]: "The famous Black Widow ...".
That portion of the script would then be sent out for professional translation. The subtitles would be based on the original in the script. What the actor says on the day may or may not be checked (with the level of budget for this film, it probably was).

@Holger I agree that it's common for translations to be ... less than perfect. Perhaps I'm a bit naive, but I'd expect something that had the budget of the Avenger films to be a bit more likely to be thorough/professional in this regard.
