Like Kubuntu and Xubuntu, the version of Ubuntu with GNOME should be renamed Gubuntu. The main ubuntu.com site would then offer a choice between Gubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu.

Same as #1, except that Ubuntu becomes Ubuntu GNOME, Kubuntu becomes Ubuntu KDE, and Xubuntu becomes Ubuntu Xfce. Makes it somewhat clearer which version is which.

/I know that I proposed a solution that proposes the naming as proposed here in solution #2./
---
All version should be named Ubuntu and you should be able to download Ubuntu with Gnome not ubuntu Gnome.
Also a new user really doesn't cares how a DE is called they more care on look and feel and usability.
So maybe add a screenshot (screencast) and a short introduction to all the DEs.

There are a big numer of distros, made with ubuntu costumizazion kit, like progex, articus, ubuntu plus, super ubuntu, ubuntu ultimate edition, ubuntu muslim and christian edition, ecc...
All are unusefull.
i promote to allow a download of a customizate ubuntu's cds, with choosen software from the repositories universes.
The cd customizate allow a different applications, de, themes, and something else, but it will ever Ubuntu (may with a short code name)

Edit:
I am thinking a web service like suse studio!)

Ubuntu GNOME Edition
Ubuntu KDE Edition
Ubuntu Xfce Edition
Ubuntu Education Edition


We had this discussion a few years ago, and it ended in "nothing". So I do just re-promote it. Maybe we can get an official reaction this time!

I'd like to keep the Ubuntu naming system simple.

That makes is very easy to set up news alerts and the like.

So, the best thing is

Name::

in best BN form. Thus when we get to S:

Ubuntu Screaming Starling is not as good as:
Ubuntu Scandalized Skua

for starlings often scream, anyway more often than skuas are scandalized.

Hardy was not good for Herons are rather hardy. Intrepid Ibex has been very good and jaunty jackalope not bad.

Now what's k going to be?

Ubuntu is what it must be known without confusing with kubuntu,xubuntu,later bubuntu or more ;-)

So ,for kde/xfce users please brand "KDE UBUNTU" or "XFCE UBUNTU" with a wise selection of FONTS for the "kde" or "xfce" part.I repeat ,a different set of fonts and colour to differentiate the Desktop Environment.this will work better.

This can be the only possible solution.REMOVE kubuntu,xubuntu branding.these are very much unnecessary which tarnishes the original "UBUNTU"(Humanity for Others) meaning.So ,at the end ,every one will be Happy Kde/xfce users too.
Anyways ,Ubuntu is what it all started with.still 99% knows it as Ubuntu.why confuse with the vandalized names of kubuntu,xubuntu etc?

What Say Guys?

The only thing I want to propose is to implement the ability to choose KDE as the DE in the Download section of the main Ubuntu website. As long as Kubuntu is no more than Ubuntu with another set of packages preferred by default and KDE is going to be a high quality fast working DE as soon as 4.2 will be released, why to maintain another "distribution" on another website and not to ship Ubuntu with two variations of live-install-CD?
(And as soon as keyboard shortcut for switching layouts would be implemented in XFCE, I would propose to do the same with Xubuntu).
We could even warn a user that KDE (?) and XFCE are not so well supported as Gnome when he selects KDE or XFCE CD to download.
And then we of course should rename ISOs.
