Sometimes the outer layers are called Primary and Secondary.
Consider a board of memory chips.  Some memories come in mirror image
footprints.
One side looks exactly like the other side when you populate both
sides with such mirrored chips.
Gets even more interesting when the 'Top Side' gets put in an
enclosure upside down and production doesn't realize the connector
can't be mirrored too. :-(
I concede that Top/Bottom is more common, not necessarily accurate.
