That's not as daft as it sounds (actually, it doesn't sound daft at all).
I wouldn't be surprised if Boeing take advantage of the fact that the aircraft are certificated simply as the 737-8 and 737-9 ("Max" being purely a marketing designation and only mentioned in a footnote on the TC) and just ditch the Max name completely.
After all, it kind of worked with the DC-10 and MD-10.
