Well, the platform families are officially documented on the ARM 
documentation site as:

"Versatile Express"
"RealView Versatile baseboards" (eg, of which the Realview EB and
  Versatile PB926 are members)
"Integrator baseboards"

So the commonest naming theme is 'Versatile' - except for the old
Integrator platforms.  

I think it's reasonable to describe the common parts between all these
families as 'Vesatile' rather than making up another name which doesn't
really connect with any of them.
