I think having a web page associated with the sf.net account will help too, some simple html tricks might help it to come up a little bit in the google rankings, and maybe try the same for other search engines like duckduckgo if it won't hurt your google ranking to do so. It could be helpful regardless of a name change, I still sometimes look at sf.net when I'm wanting to find new software.

Cheers,
