Certainly a possibility.
"The Name" means a lot to a lot of people.
I was chatting in irc last night, in a Mac channel. I mentioned that MacOS X runs on new Amigas (referring to Pegasos and A1) under MOL. They were all excited and wanted to know more so i told them to look at PegasosPPC.com and they said "This has nothing to do with Amiga, we're not interested, this is about something called Pegasos and MorphOS" and they wanted to know where hardware information was on Amiga.com (I couldnt find any).
Now, to all intents and purposes, Pegasos is an Amiga - at least as much (or more) of an Amiga than the A1 is. But it doesn't have the name! Amiga is a name that people recognise, and it makes them feel safer buying into it.
Give it the name, and everybody's happy. All the Amiga cheerleaders are happy because they've finally got a company worth cheering for, and all the Genesi people are happy because their profile is suddenly raised and sales increase.
