I liked "Nib's Owner". It keeps with the "owner" tag, but makes it more clear.
True, but the use of NIB vs. File may be a historical set-in-stone thing that never changed since the NIB is the File (conceptually, of course, since a NIB is a directory with three files), and everyone early on knew that.
And for anyone who might still be having issues with differentiating the loader of the NIB vs. the owner as assigned, a way to think of this is what happens in the real world when a person creates a company but assigns legal ownership of it to his/her child. The creator of the company could have kept ownership, but through a deliberate decision, that ownership is transferred to the child. And, as with all types of businesses, not all owners are involved in the same capacity (think of a mom-and-pop restaurant owner vs. Steve Jobs vs. Meg Ryan as a bookstore owner in You've Got Mail), so that's one way you might conceptualize the generality of File's Owner.
