Overall I wouldn't see a problem with naming them as first used in the relevant comics continuity (Earth-Two -> Earth-One -> New Earth -> Prime Earth, Earth-S, Earth-Four, and then the stranglers). Frankly, general real world practice is to treat the Greek and Roman names as interchangeable, so...

The only hitch I see is War of the Gods and, IIRC, Byrne's train wreck run on Wonder Woman. WotG built the "Greek and Roman gods both exist as separate entities" into the DCU. And Byrne tried to create new characters by "merging" the counter-parts in the pantheons. Neither of those work well with the compromise - unless we add a "continuity snarl" section to the relevant pages.
