Hopefully, he would be ashamed no matter what group of Christians named their church after him. We are saved by Jesus Christ and no one else. No Christians should call themselves Lutherans or baptists or catholics etc.
I don't have a problem with the name "Lutherans" because the denomination has to be called something and I believe Luther's opponents were the ones who first called them "Lutherans", so the name stuck. But regardless, he would be ashamed of the perversion of Christianity that exists today.

He was also most probably mentally ill based on what we know about him, a virulent anti-semite and asked for a catholic priest to recant on his deathbed.
His most lasting legacy beyond the reformation are that his writings formed the basis of the Nazi reasoning for the holocaust. He believed the Jews were vermin to be eradicated.
The guy isn't much of a role model.
