The problem is that when you say "Blake2" everyone (yes, everyone in
the entire world:) thinks it's one digest. What's really meant is a
family of four.
That's not insurmountable, but it is confusing.
I agree. How about Blake256 and Blake512, and leave out the parallel
versions? That's not confusing.
Not an expert here, but according to
https://131002.net/blake/
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAKE_%28hash_function%29
the terms BLAKE-256 and BLAKE-512 were already used by BLAKE, the
predecessor of BLAKE2.
