Whenever I tell my friends about HN, I always call it "YCombinator news".
Since that is what it was presented to me as from the outset (i.e., a url (http://news.ycombinator.com http://news.ycombinator.com) with a 'hacker'-free endorsement), the "Hacker News" title has never really stuck. Even among people in the know, I still usually refer to it as YCombinator news.
