The Switch is so popular, I'd keep the name. Switch 2 works.

It needs to be Switch 2 or something different entirely. Otherwise people will get confused.

Assuming it's backwards-compatible with Switch games - and it really, really should be - then "Switch 2" is the logical choice; there's a reason everybody except Microsoft (who have a weird relationship with names in general) sequentially numbers their flagship hardware, it's easy to remember and easy to search for and instantly obvious what it is.

Assuming it keeps the hybrid handheld/console model and is backwards compatible with Switch games, then calling it something along the lines of a "switch 2" or "super switch" makes sense.
Considering the fiasco that was the WiiU was partly due to its name, I think that nintendo will want to move as far away as possible from the name of its predecessor.
