It's not really our decision, no matter how long we have used HyperTalk/Metacard/Revolution for.... Runrev did their survey and asked us what we thought about the various options. If someone missed their opportunity to voice an opinion at that stage it's unfortunate. But even for those of us who did voice an opinion, it was just our opinion (at this stage I can't even remember what preferences I expressed).
Personally I liked 'transcript' as the name of the language, because it conveyed the fundamental aims of being cross-platform and being one of the most dynamically scriptable (as opposed to compilable) languages. Having said that, I'm quite sure that having a distinctive term like 'irev' or 'revtalk' (as much as they might go against my aesthetics or philosophy) is going to serve Runrev the company (and hopefully Revolution the IDE) well. If Revolution is going to become a fish in a bigger pond of web scripting/browser plugins, people are going to need to be able to search on google/yahoo for information, references, blogs, etc. Words like 'Revolution' or 'Transcript' by themselves return far too many hits that are not relevant for prospective users.
