Agreed that use of 'my' in any naming convention is horrible. Even
setting aside the Clippy-like feeling over being overly familiar,
telling a user to go to "your My Collection" is cringe-inducing.
I personally don't have a problem with the possessive used with either
my name, or the username for my account, especially when it's a default
that I can customize anyway. All very subjective.
I proposed the overt use of 'collection' to begin prepping end users to
think about the Web UI as being more than a calendar. Once we have
generic item support, you will clearly be able to put more stuff in
this, um, collection of stuff, than just calendar events.

My anecdotal experience suggests that many people have an aversion to
monikers like 'My Phlogiston' or 'Jeffrey's Phlogiston'. They scan as
overly familiar, I think.
Combining what Matt and Jared suggested, how about Home Collection?
Sincerely,
