Shouldn't we transfer this topic to the ringing theory list (of which  
I'm not a member!)?

We still haven't come up with a satisfactory  answer to George's

Good idea. I was told that minor was something to do with the musical  
relationship between the treble and tenor of a ring of six. Certainly major  would 
then make sense, eing rung on a major scale of eight. Maybe all even bell  
names are related to musical terms.
