I would agree that Stobart operating under their own name would not be such a great idea at the moment.
If they could do a deal to operate under the BA Cityflyer name that would be best, but I don't think that would happen.
Operating under Aer Lingus Regional where they already have a relationship or Loganair would be much more likely. Not sure though how much of a strong brand image either of them have outside their own niche markets of Ireland and Scotland. However what they both could provide is a sales platform/booking engine, which is pretty much why they operated as a Flybe franchise.
As on outside bet I wouldn't completely rule out them operating under a Virgin brand.
