I think it would be much more interesting for everyone involved (especially those "losing" their server) to get brand new name for the new united server.I firmly believe this would be a good first step in the direction of building the new server communities.
Making a new server name for the merged servers would make it feel less like a hostile invasion. As some of the others have posted there are a lot of negative threads going on all over the server boards. People are not happy about losing their server names and on the other hand people are not happy about doubling the population of the servers.
I understand this is going to happen, the easier and more appealing SOE can make it for the users the better. Change the name of the servers, give them a new name all together.
With regards to people having to change their personal and/or Guild names, the only fair way to do it would be playtime or active account time. People will get $crewed either way, it's best to minimize that as much as possible.
