        This is the name I think of temporarily.
        Unity Touch
        Meaning is unity8 in touch

        I see no reason to change the current name - since it is Ubuntu Touch, but if Canonical ever did request a name change, Unity Touch or Unity Mobile seem like good choices to me. Neither describes the OS under the GUI though, unlike the existing name.

          There are already enough things named Unity. The name "Unity" is a bigger problem here than Ubuntu, I'd say.

            Probably. Let us hope there is no need to change it.

                @tigerpro I'm afraid calling it โ€œUltimate Touchโ€ might attract the wrong sort of attention : )

                Super Smash Bros Ultimate Touch.

                  I remember a talk on AppDev channel about UbuntuTouch naming issue, can someone please explain me how it goes ?
                  If so are there any new name choosen ?

                  Google results for Ubuntu Touch:
                  About 49.900.000 results (0,55 seconds)
                  Why would you want to change the name?

                    @dobey well yeah, you're right, but I don't like those names either.
                    A good acronym could be way better: GIMP is a great example (GNU Image Manipulator Program, for those who don't know)

                      @mymike or not so great acronym as the case may be. acronyms are usually a bad way to name something.

                        I am just saying that there will be no naming discussion in the near future. There are no plans to change the name, as our marketing guys decided.

                              There is no need for more discussion on this topic at this time. I'll lock the thread to reduce noise.
