Cayley-Dickson form of a Quaternionquaternion

It is known that using the Cayley-Dickson construction a quaternion $q$ can be written in a symplectic form as $q=x+\mathbf{i}y$ with $x,y \in \mathbb{C}$.

I read in a couple of references that $x$ is called the simplex-part whereas $y$ is called the perplex-part of the quaternion. Is this widely accepted and if not what is the proper onomatology?

On the same topic is there a standard name for the two Quaternionquaternion parts comprising an Octonionoctonion?
