Apogee and perigee are correct for Earth. The "gee" suffix relates to Earth. Similarly, around the Moon you have apolune/perilune or apselene/periselene, around Saturn you have apochron/perichron, and around Pluto you have aphadion/perihadion. Apoapsis/periapsis are general terms which apply to any orbit, but a lot of planets (and the Moon) have their own unique ones.
