Right now Nautilus seems to be using my user-name for ~, while the
Places menu uses Home Folder. I think for consistency's sake it would be
better to mount or link to ~ under the name Home, let's say
/tmp/username/Home would link to /home/username. Use /tmp/username/Home
instead of /home/username as the Home folder when starting a session,
and you get consistency across all applications (except any that are
stupid enough to use /home/$USER instead of $HOME) AND get to call it
whatever you want, regardless of what the real Home folder is called.

As to what it should be called, we are trying to help new users here who
aren't in on all this information. So from a support POV it would be
better to call it Home, and when talking about it call it Home folder,
same as Documents being discussed as Documents folder, or Places being
referred to as the Places menu or Places sidebar.
