The problem with libChecker is that we wanted to divide the "checkers" for the analyzer core.  We thus made them two libraries.  If we stayed with libChecker, we would have something like libChecker and libCheckers.  We used 'GR' (taking the prefix from most of the classes), but you argued that wasn't clear either.  I'm not terribly excited about using 'SA' since I don't want to send the message that this is the exclusive static analyzer that could be built on Clang, and indeed it only reflects a particular kind of approach.  It's very conceivable we could introduce other analysis engines over time.  How would they be labeled/organized?  Would they be separate llvm projects, like klee?
