My vote currently is for
display:flexbox
display:inline-flexbox
flexbox-align
flexbox-direction
flexbox-flex
etc.
yes, 'flexbox-flex' looks odd but the whole naming system is very clear.
I also prefer 'orientation' to 'orient'.

(1) I don't think "flex" by itself is a good term for display-inside. I also agree that "box" is arguably too generic. You might consider just combining the words flex and box together.
display: flex-box
display: inline-flex-box
The same would apply to other properties, e.g., flexbox-begin not flex-begin.
The original version of Tab's spec used "flexbox". What's you're issue with just "flex"? flexbox seems redundant to me.
