These two seem to directly contradict each other; Always display a house (why? 
because users understand the metaphor? or that it's their 'home' location?) 
but change the name (thereby breaking the very same metaphor?)

The whole 'home' concept is remarkably easy to explain, and to understand, 
widely used both within and without KDE.  

I would like to see the icon change, but I'm strongly opposed to the name 
change.

That's a rather big conceptual change to spring.  Home is *HOME* not the 
documents folder.  I agree with David here: Add Documents, if it's set 
and !HOME and call it that, don't mix it up with home, which already has a 
meaning of it's own.
