If I'm not mistaken, the "official" names are just "t" and "b", so top and bottom, just like truth and beauty, are more mnemonics. So referring to them as truth and beauty would be just as correct.

Thought one was their names and the other their attributes?

Seems like you're right and I misremembered.
