It looks like Sony has filed a trademark for the name "Playstation Move," along with a logo for the unit. As you can see at the link, the trademark page and the logo both look like they are legit. Check it out.

The name of Sony’s new motion control may have been revealed. Sony has filed for a trademark in Europe for the name “Playstation Move.” They have also filed for a trademark for the design logo above. This certainly sounds like a safe bet, but we are sure Sony is not just going to hand over the name to us. If you click read more, you can see the image of the trademark page.
They just showed this off at GDC, with some info on the launch bundles and a hint at pricing. Apparently you get the Move starter kit with Move, an Eyetoy, and a game under $100. There'll be a move only bundle and a full PS3 Move bundle too. Showed some of the launch games (one being the obvious Sports game, but with an awesome looking Gladiator game mode), and they showed SOCOM 4 and LBP with Move play.
Also mentioned at GDC: GT5 has a "confirmed" launch for this year, and ModNation will release sometime in the Spring. Apparently they're keeping a couple secrets up their sleeve for E3, as expected.
This name upsets me. It's too commonplace, they're co-opting the definition of an extremely common verb--although it'll probably be ripe for puns at some point. Dammit, 'Arc' was far superior, far, far, far superior in so many ways including coolness and the set of connotations it carries. 'Move' isn't a shadow of 'Arc'.
Sony Guy 1: "Okay okay, everyone check this out, what if the motion controller, gets named Move?! You know, because you move when you're using it, and it goes along with the PSP "GO", huh? Right? Are we seeing what I'm getting at?" Sony Guy 2: "I'm not so sure.."
*door swings open* Sony Guy 3: "GUYS! Kaz just got really fucked up on some sake rice wine shit Thompson in accounting let him have, and he's inviting us all to the strip joint down the street and he's paying for all the lap dances!" Sony Guy 2: "On second thought Move sounds good to me, lets all get the fuck out of here! Wooooooo!"
