Should a first level character really be called an archmage or hierophant?
And even in the playtest document, the term champion shows up without refering to the mystic path of the same name.
So, I propose changing the name of those three paths to something more neutral like
Archmage - Savant
Champion - Slayer
Hierophant - Exemplar
Trickster and Guardian are fine. Marshal is okay-ish, but I don't have any better name for it.

I don't actively encourage my players (while in character) to even use class names most of the time. I mean I can certainly see a wizard describing himself as such, and very likely a cleric.
but how many warriors do you think run around saying "I'm a fighter"...
And don't get me started on Rogue's.....
I think the current names for the path....speak well to the characters destiny, even if the fulfillment of that destiny is many levels down the road ;)
Archmage almost literally means "a (very) powerful mage".
Champion is a word with many different meanings, one of them being simply "a person who fights". Other being, "guy who is really good (at fighting or any other form of competition)" and "one who fights for a specific person, cause or ideal".
Hierophant means "one who reveals divine mysteries".
All are appropriate to the flavor of their respective paths. They sound nice and are broad enough to encompass many different concepts.
