Honestly, using the wrong name does confuse things. There is no actual "Libra 1", so I have to think about what you mean. It is the same with the various devices called "Aura". They need the full name so we know what the actual devices is. Using the example suggested here by renaming the Libra H2O as "Libra 1", then the "Aura HD" renamed as "Aura 1". But, that would be confusing as there is an "Aura ONE" that people do occasionally use "Aura 1" or "KA1" or even "A1". But, I have also seen the "Aura" (the 6" device that was the second device with "Aura" in it's name) as "Aura Edition 1" and have dropped the "Edition" from this and the "Aura Edition 2".
Is this me being pedantic? Probably. But, communication is hard enough that deliberately using the wrong names for things is just going to add to the confusion.

Simple. Libra 1 can be typed faster than Libra H2O. And no one seems to have had any issues with understanding what was meant. Given that there have been only two Libras so far.
It's not my fault that companies decide to let more than one device have the same name, or almost the same name. Of course Amazon is even worse with their generations of Paperwhites, Oases and just Kindles.
