I think Black and White were a great choice of names, they are colours, so it's the new beginning, they match the legendaries and they're as opposite as you can get. Plus there aren't really any other options, colours are running out and a gem would make the least amount of sense. I also feel words before the name should be saved for remakes.

I won't change the names anymore, even if I could. I'm fine with whatever they are.
If we look closer, we find :
Pokemon Gold / Silver
Pokemon Hert Gold / Soul Silver
So, rename B/W is not necessary now, because it's an other story.
In some years when they want to make easy profits, they think about remake B/W and in this case, they rename it.
Why not Black Darker, White Lighter...

Black and White are good names, I wouldn't change them. It looks like the colours have some kind of importance within the game now. Before, the names didn't stand for anything, just the names. They have a story now.
That reminds me of Minecraft.
In Europe (not in the case of UK), it was "Name of Gold/Silver in the language of the game + HeartGold / SoulSilver". It was way too ugly...
It's something we've seen since the remakes of G/R/B, so every remake will look like that (prepare for the names of Ruby and Sapphire!).
Obsidian (black), and Quartz (white)
That reminds me of Minecraft.
Black and White are perfect simplistic names for the game titles. If they were given a cheesy add on to the simple black and white, I don't think I would have liked that. HeartGold and SoulSilver were enough - and not to say that they are bad names, but I prefer simplicity.

Eh, I think it's perfect just the way it goes, and it completely ties in the whole "Yin and Yang" concept. Plus the little the nouns at the beginning like Fire Red, Leaf Green, Heart Gold, and Soul Silver are meant exclusively for Remakes so that you can tell it from the original. (:
