Even though on the German forums, people say, newbies wouldn't choose a server 'cause of its name, but just if its tagged as "EU" or not. Me and my friends don't agree on that!
Don't worry about Masamune; as far as I can tell (from people in-game, not on the forums >_>; ), it's one of the most popular (if not the most popular) name in terms of "awesomeness." And like Murugan said, Ridill will always appeal to people from XI, even though I have my reservations about the name.

<small rant>I'm not upset with Ridill being the name because it's pretty much impossible to pick a "best" weapon and I think they did well; however, I don't feel that it's quite as iconic or likely to draw people in as Selbina was. Selbina was a sad little fishing villiage, but everyone from XI remembers it and the dunes, either with fond memories of being a noob or a solid "Uggggghhhh." Ridill, however, was something that most of us only remember as a sword that might have dropped to a veteran WAR / THF / DRK / BST / RNG / SAM after we wasted a few hours of our life getting excited every time a dragonfly popped. </rant>
