While JR East polls the masses, they reserve the right to name it whatever they want, and they usually name new Shinkansen services after the older, conventional-rail services they replace. This makes "Tsugaru" the most obvious candidate by far, though it could be something else evocative of Aomori Prefecture. Such as... erm... apples. Or rice. Or hicks. I would not, however, object to "Hatsune" being used on the Tokaido / Sanyo Shinkansen, where the name fits much more cleanly with the Kodama (echo) / Hikari (light) / Nozomi (wish) scheme. Let's leave potential stopping-patterns for the hardcore rail-types to speculate upon. I'd say it's pretty unlikely that it'll get named "Hatsune".

Shinkansen tracks are _always_ protected from interlopers by fences or simply running on viaducts, and platforms have waist-high barriers designed to open only when a train is boarding. You have to be either trying to kill yourself or really, really stupid in order to get hit by one of these trains. Unlikely (suicides excluded, of course).

"Tsugaru" seems the most likely candidate, though JR East could come up with something completely different if they so choose. I doubt "Hatsune" will be in the running; if anything it fits more along the naming scheme of the Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen, which has "Kodama" (echo), "Hikari" (light), and "Nozomi" (wish).
