I first saw UMa when I was in Cairns as a young cadet engineer. I hadn't got involved in astronomy at that stage but I knew enough to recognise it as the "Big Dipper". It struck me at the same time that I couldn't see Crux... made me realise how far from home I was.
But in answer to the question: UMa or Big Dipper works for me.
