I still think it will be "Mx" in consumer things, and "MxX" in pro things. Jumping straight to M2 in the Air only makes sense if the next MB Pro gets M2X, etc. (although I still think M1X may be in the next Pro and the next Air upgrade is just a bit further down the road.)
What I cannot see—and what will make the least sense, will be each new thing getting a new number. So, 2020 Air is M1, 2021 MB Pro is M2, 2021 Air is M3, 2022 MB Pro is M4, 2022 Mac Pro is M5, etc. That would be dumb. The naming structure has to reflect the chip generation and it's 2-3 variants (consumer, pro, really pro).
At some point, they'll all be on the same page and it will make sense to us.
