It is official name, but I disagree that people refer more to Dashboard 
than to Horizon. People mostly talk about Horizon and when they say 
Horizon they refer to the UI. Dashboard is not much used outside Horizon 
community and is a bit confusing (overloaded).

Small example - when you want to add the general overview page - the 
actual dashboard, that should be the *dashboard* name how it should be 
used. Otherwise we are adding _Dashboard_ view into Project's 
_dashboard_ into OpenStack _Dashboard_ project. That's what I really see 
confusing :)

My opinion and preference:
* horizon_lib (framework) + horizon (UI)

Not sure if it seemed the most convenient, I haven't seen agreement there.
