So, several classes have specs with the same name.
Warriors and paladins both have a protection spec,
druids and shamans have a restoration spec,
priests and paladins have a holy spec,
and mages and death knights share a frost spec.
Though it's nice that some spec names are repeated for the same role that different classes can perform ("protection" and tanking, for example), I'd like to see people be creative and come up with some more class-specific names.
Since druids have their feral spec, I think restoration should become a
floral
spec.
Since paladins are more in the holy line of work, maybe protection should be renamed sacrifice or something? Meet the sacradin.
That's the best I can come up, but what other renames can you guys think of?

If I were to pick the names, this is how I'd fix it:
Restoration
becomes
Water Mastery
or
Attunement
for Shaman.
Shamans heal via water, this is unique to their class. Also, I've always believed shaman healing spells should belong to the frost school of magic, not nature.
Holy
becomes
Light
for Paladins.
This one just to break it up, frankly. They both use the light, but only paladins proclaim it all the time. Priests, not so much.
Frost
becomes
Chill
for Death Knights.
The Icy chill of death sounds kickass and Mages had frost first.
Protection
becomes
Defender
for Paladins.
Also to break it up, since they mean basically the same thing. But Defender does sound more 'paladiny'.

This ^
although I think that the paladin protection spec should become Crusader (yes I know it doesn't sound like a tanking spec, but its just cool sounding)
