We (Louisville Orchestra) did a concert with Julie Andrews a few weeks ago (her first singing in ten years) and she most certainly uses "Do."

Hey!  Where was the rim-shot?

In Québec "trompette en do" is standard, but I imagine Darcy was looking for the Continental expression.

Unfortunately, I can't speak for the terminology on the east side of the Atlantic. I can't even be certain of British English, as compared to Canadian usage! To judge from the Conservatoire de Paris scores I see, trompette en ut is widespread, but I don't know if they are just a holdover, as "ut" in normal musical lingo is not used except in historical contexts.
