I have spent some time reviewing this http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy for other reasons, and there is a section pertaining to naming remixes.
I would suggest Ubuntu GSR (for "GNOME Shell Remix"), it sounds kind of high-tech, mysterious, perhaps a bit mechanical (a motorcycle of some kind?) and it isn't hard to pronounce.

Brett

That sounds really good ! . Users who love Ubuntu and GNOME will be
much much happier :-)

I agree that Gubuntu and Goobuntu are confusing, but I also agree with
Sri that GNObuntu sounds a little bit like a negative assertion or
something like that (Gnome NO (U)buntu). I'd prefer something without
any possible misinterpretation.
