What’s in a Name? Linux, Ubuntu, Linux Ubuntu, or Ubuntu Linux?

I presented some thoughts on “Linux” and “GNU/Linux” in a recent post What’s in a name? GNU, Linux, or GNU/Linux?, trying to make the case to use “Linux” in preference to “GNU/Linux.”
You face a similar choice when writing a post about Ubuntu. You want “Ubuntu” to appear in the title, both to grab the reader’s attention and to make the post more likely to be singled out by web search engines such as Google.
But if you look at my posts about Ubuntu you should also find “Linux” in the title. Here’s why I do that.

What’s in a name? Gnubuntu or Ubuntu?
My two prior posts were both about names: What’s in a name? GNU, Linux, or GNU/Linux? and What’s in a Name? Linux, Ubuntu, Linux Ubuntu, or Ubuntu Linux?.
I asked myself, is there another name of interest within the names to be found in these two posts?
So I wrote down the names and eliminated the duplicates, leaving:
GNU
Linux
GNU/Linux
Ubuntu
What did I miss? How about:
GNU Ubuntu
GNU/Ubuntu
GNUbuntu
Yikes! That is scary.
