Yes, it's a good idea to call the new language "Pike 8". That'd avoid throwing out much of the branding investment in the name "Pike". We'd then have the two languages "Pike 7" and "Pike 8". The drawback is that the name "Pike" would become even more ambiguous.

That said, I still maintain that a Pike 8 branch, similar to the whole Perl 6 thing, would make sense. However I don't think we should have TWO development trees - having a total of 3 active trees probably would be a bad idea.
