I think this post is going to contribute to semantic confusion; when most of us talk about utilons, I think we're talking about the output of a utility function.
I've heard "hedons" as units of pleasure ("dolors" for units of pain), although I suppose if we aren't being hedonists then it might be a misleading term.
