I agree. I even think if ever a hard fork in Bitcoin should happen the new version should have a completely new name so that users who stay on the old version know they still use their Bitcoin and the users of the new version know that what they're using isn't Bitcoin anymore.
Who gets to decide which fork gets to claim to be "Bitcoin"? If users of both forks decide they are the true "Bitcoin", how is the naming issue resolved?
Bitcoin will be what Bitcoin is right now. I didn't say the name of the new version will change or users of the new version will want it to change, they may well want it to stay Bitcoin, doesn't make it Bitcoin though and I don't think it should be called Bitcoin. But that is my opinion and it depends how much that matters.
