We all think about UCT all day long, ;-) but universal time is called 
UTC. The acronym is far from obvious, because:

"The International Telecommunication Union 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Telecommunication_Union> 
wanted Coordinated Universal Time to have a single abbreviation for all 
languages. English <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language> 
speakers and French <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_language> 
speakers each wanted the initials of their respective languages' terms 
to be used internationally: "CUT" for "coordinated universal time" and 
"TUC" for "temps universel coordonné". This resulted in the final 
compromise of using UTC." as I quoted from 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time
