I actually like these very much. They're classical, universal, and in my 
opinion, easy to grasp. They even have more meaning to them than most trivial 
names.

Think of what a new user generally does: If he doesn't know what a grimoire 
is 
in the first place, he's prone to look it up. And when the document he's 
reading clearly states what grimoire names such as "earth" and "water" mean, 
it's a no-brainer.

To put it short, in my opinion "stable & test" and "earth & water" are 
equally 
informative, but the latter example is much more SMGL'ish. We should go for 
that.
