Also, I think most usually the lake names come from the color they have when see from the ground, rather than from above.
For example, a lake might be blue when viewed from space, but the locals can still call it a "Black Lake" because it's surrounded by mountains made of dark rocks, and when you stand at its shore you can typically see them reflected in its surface, giving an overall impression of a black color.

- to take a seat yourself and give it up to an elderly person later on, in an attempt to gain an extra ace ;)
