With Sync (the network) I am targeting programmers and developers who know what Synchronous means. I am not targeting the general public with the network name, although if we can think of a name that also appeals to general public or at least businessmen (decision makers), then that is preferred.

Mesh is more strongly associated with the meaning that every participant is interconnected (which is not the main point of a block chain), and doesn't imply anything about the timing, speed, and consistency. It does weakly imply unity. In my opinion in terms of a technical audience, it is the weaker name for a block chain. It is more related to communication network topology.
