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?
To me its obvious that the original is the real bitcoin. Of course any claim that the real bitcoin was superior to the of shoot simply because its the real bitcoin would be a fallacy. So being the real bitcoin is nothing to be proud of its just a label, if the fork is fixing real problems well, and adding awesome new features ect... than go NewCoin!
