None of them are going to look at the pedigree/genealogy of how the card got it's name... the average Joe doesn't care. Only concern is "what plays Battlefield the fastest, for the least amount" .. is all they care about.
(ie: price/performance)

Matter of fact, that logical ratio^ is all anyone cares about... unless you are a disgruntled nv fanboi.
If people don't care about naming, why did people go crazy over the Nvidia naming fiasco? The pricing of the cards lowered with each renaming and it was priced to what it was competing against. The same rules should apply to that product too regardless of the change in architecture.
