    Again, there is nothing generic about Red Mage, White Mage, Black Mage, etc. They are unique because they were created by Hironobu Sakaguchi.
    First of what do you want a discussion or just flat out insult me with baseless statements?
    You don't need to emphasise anything since my eyes and mind are good enough to read. Thaumaturge can have a lot of meanings. Some litteraly interpret it as folding up of the earth. Others read it as miracle worker, saint or magician.
    Now let's be honest and try to compare this irrespective from the whole FF lore and history with blue or red mage. Now if you were to name it that way people with no previous experience with FF wouldn't have a clue what it is about.
    But fine if you add so much values to colors as a characteristic of class name, then go ahead. For me it just looks like a lack of inspiration, there are great names out there which can people inspire or encourage to try such a class. But there are already enough colors out their in the real world, so I'm pretty sure that people with no previous FF experience (of which I expect this game to be open to as well) won't get overexcited over such a dull name.
