OK, here are some proposals:

1.
length (2a) of horizontal axis
length (2b) of vertical axis

2.
diameter of horizontal axis
diameter of vertical axis

3.
length (diameter) of horizontal axis
length (diameter) of vertical axis

4.
length (2r) of horizontal axis
length (2r) of vertical axis

I like number one the most.
