Yes, the name choice is indeed unfortunate and one of my biggest regrets concerning TeXmacs.
But it is difficult to change the name now, because that would imply having to redo a lot of documentation, web pages, videos, etc.

It's hard to estimate how much a name impacts adoption, but it is quite likely people would be reluctant to even try a tool which creates associations that they find unappealing. Switching to some phonetically adjacent name, say TypeMax or SciMacs or ... could be a friendly invitation to a new generation of users to give the platform a spin.
