I`d like to think so, but I am not so sure about that. I read this last week on e-budo:

I know many of you may wish to throw me to the flames,
but why should the Ueshiba family have the generic term "aikido"?
The term was nor invented by Ueshiba,
it was coined in the "Dai-Nihon-Butokukai"
as a generic name for various MA : Ju-Jitsu, Aiki-Jitsu and Yawara
Ueshiba took the name just like anybody else can take it today,
while he did spread a MA system and philosophy under the name,
He didn't invent it

I don`t know how true this is, but it would certainly lend credibility to any art being called Aikido without lineage to O Sensei.
