How else would you distinguish the ARM model (Metro-only) and the Intel model (contains a full desktop) ?

I seem to recall MacBook and MacBook Pro co-existing for years without a hint of ridicule...

That's the problem, they're not called "Surface" and "Surface Pro", they're called "Surface for Windows RT" and "Surface for Windows 8 Pro".

Officially, maybe. Looking at the site, it's quite clearly branded "Surface". Not having the final retail packaging, it's just a guess what the final retail name will be.

The Samsung Galaxy is officially named the Samsung I9000, but the retail packaging shows a more user-friendly name.
