Well, you didn't specifically ask for input on these names, but I'll give
it anyway. :-)
All three of these parts are what TLC calls "Icons".
http://peeron.com/inv/parts/x746
http://peeron.com/inv/parts/x747
http://peeron.com/inv/parts/x742
and (I think) should be named accordingly. The current name of clikit1 is
particularly unfortunate because Clikits parts include at least one
(small) human-sized ring.
An additional consideration when modeling Clikits parts is that many have
a "frosted" finish, which I think is an aspect of part design and not
color. Note especially
http://peeron.com/inv/parts/x898
which has been observed with a partially frosted top.
Peeron currently has many Clikits parts organized into what I think is a
coherent hierarchy
http://peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/psearch?query=clikits
about which feedback would be appreciated.[1,2]

[1] Parts without pictures may be poorly named, duplicates, not exist,
etc.
[2] There is a progression of names when a part comes in
four sizes of "Small", "Medium", "Large", and "Huge" which would be nice
to see for wagon wheels as well (where the "Medium" is currently known in
LDraw as "Large").
