I need an authoritative answer to the question, "What is the correct
official name to use in talking about the international Universal Time
standard?"  I have been told UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) and UT0,
and I've also heard of "Coordinated Universal Time" and "Universal
Coordinated Time".

Please don't respond unless you're sure you know the answer.  Best
would be someone who has to deal with these matters all the time,
for example NBS staff.
