At C++Now 2014 there was some agreement on renaming 'universal references' to 'forwarding references'. Apparently, Scott Meyers, the guy that came up with the term universal references, even agreed to update his upcoming book with the new term.

At least "forwarding" specifies "for use in perfect forwarding", but it must be made clear that this term refers to the syntactic phenomena and they are not distinct from rvalue references.
