This was discussed recently, and in fact changed from COLLATE/CTYPE to 
LC_COLLATE/LC_CTYPE. The reason is that LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE makes 
it more clear that the options set the LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE 
environment variables. There is also precedent: the pre-existing initdb  options were called --lc-collate and
--lc-ctype,so the new createdb 
 
options are quite naturally also called --lc-collate and --lc-ctype, and 
since they're called that, it would be weird if the CREATE DATABASE 
options had different names.
