That'd be an "obvious" choice, and I'm not terribly against it, though I wonder whether it'd be taking over a name that has a wider scope than intended? I.e., GNU is a larger set of projects than the GNU toolchain. For example, there's Gnulib, which already compiles as libgnu.a / -lgnu, which might be confusing. GCC doesn't currently use Gnulib, but GDB does, and, there was work going on a while ago to make GCC use gnulib as well.
Unfortunately, that work was never committed, although there are parts that are ready to be committed and the rest of the conversion could be done incrementally:
