I already mention why we wouldn't need to name characters with this "Earth-8" thing (if we had to use said designation).

If the "new" Marvel Universe will be a total mash up of different realities (not just Earth-616 plus a little bit from here and there), then almost every single character would potentially be from another reality. It would be chaotic. That's why I mentioned it wouldn't be necessary to label them from another universe unless noted.

And this is one of the reasons why I doubt the "new" universe will be 100% a complete mash up. If that's so, it would be more like Battleworld 2.0 instead of a reality per se.
