The name is a name, I think Nokia sounds stupid but you just accept it. And half the names that people like AMD and intel come out with for their CPU's are daft, they are just words. But some just click on the conscious like pentium and google. So who knows in a year or two.

Branding however is a complete package and the name is everything. Meemo isn't off the ground for most none techies and now they have to try and redo all that work from the start to make people get the new name. Lots of none techies know of Android, and Ubuntu, but few know of Meamo, fewer still of moblin (I didn't until the merger)

Personally I can see the writing on the wall and Meego won't be here in a year or so. It is a desparate act by two large companies trying to compete with the big boys, and the way they handled it on their own doesn't inspire confidence that merging will see any larger uptake. They are not concentrating on fixing the first thing, so I doubt the second thing will be better. Just look at MS for examples of a large company throwing money and rebranding at a bad product. (Bing, MS live, MS search, MS home server, Vista, windows mobile, etc etc etc)

What do I know, I just work in the industry, more knowledgeable people are out there.
