I don't dislike the name really, but I think revolution was better. Ultimately, if the system is even a quarter as good as it sounds, the name really won't matter.
I mean, all said and done "playstation" is a really stupid name too. "x-box" "gamecube"...etc.
Nintendo is trying to let go of that idea that a console can only be enjoyed by leet gamer nerds. They want to make it more accessible to everyone, and while leet gamer nerds will make fun of the name "Wii" all day, they aren't exactly a benchmark of who will actually enjoy the product.
I really like where Nintendo is coming from, they are the only company that seems to understand what gaming is.
