Like you, I prefer to call it Normal mode. That is how it is
usually (almost always?) called in the docs. It is acceptable (and
reasonable, especially for newbies) to call it Command mode:

If one sets the 'insertmode' optionm, then <Esc> has no effect in
Insert mode (except for a slight delay on some terminals) and actually
goes to Insert mode from Normal mode if you manage to get there.
