Just to add my comments to the din-

I think "Foldername", "User's Folder", and then "Home" would be my
preference in order. I think adding "folder" is redundant and not
needed. As already stated, there is a folder icon already notifying the
user that this is, in fact, a folder.

I think using "Foldername" is the best, since the bookmark name and the
folder in question will have the same name. Where we can control the
shortcut's name, simply using an upper-case letter is an easy thing to
do. In applications we don't modify, the folder still has the same name
without the capitol letter. This gives consistency within any app that
allows the user to brows the /home folder for their particular
repository of data. This also avoids using inconsistent translations
between languages, since it is clear that "Home" would not be used in
all languages.

Using "User's Folder" is impractical, as many applications that offer a
file browser will not use the default Gnome browser. Several apps within
the repository simply default to the /home or /home/username folder.
Again, the above plan would appear consistent to newer users. "User's
Folder" would simply fall down in this scenario.

Using "Home" or "Home Folder" to me is not really an option. The
directory /home already exists in the LSB specs, and referring to any
other folder by that name is a bit confusing to a new user that is
exploring. In addition, there are the previously mentioned translation
issues and the lack of bookmarks in every file browser dialog for every
windowing kit.

Just my two cents.
