Ordered Pair: Also known as
Some sources refer to an ordered pair as just a pair, taking the fact that it is ordered for granted.
However, this allows confusion with the concept of a doubleton set, so this usage is not recommended.
Some sources use couple, but that has a completely different meaning in the context of mechanics.
Some sources use the term ordered double.
