No. At the moment Wikipedia and Wikibooks and Wikinews etc are all conceptually on the same level. But Wikipedia and Wikipedia Textbooks and Wikipedia News? These latter two are conceptually at a lower level. Reorganising projects like this would not "merely" reduce confusion, it would change people's perceptions about the relations between these entities...and their relative importance.
This is the great danger I see too. If you rename, say, Wikibooks to Wikipedia Textbooks, you give the impression that it is part of Wikipedia, that its function is to serve Wikipedia. Currently, many projects are trying (and not rarely succeeding) to get their own identity, with their own plans and functions. By renaming them to "Wikipedia something", we would be telling them that that is not the way we want to go. I think that's a big hurdle to be taken, with relatively minor gain.
