We a actually don't know the names of the main characters, we just assume its Madarame and Saki.

I know it's supposed to be its own thing, but for a moment there confusion set in: "wait, is this actually a prequel?!"

No, it has to be a sequel even if its an alternate future. Naming your kid after yourself is common.

I think it is. This is a future (even if alternate, but would love if canon) where Madarame and Saki are together after she broke up with Makoto. In the chapter where they talk about baby names with the grandmother, Madarame tells the grandma when Saki is in the bathroom that "He loves her name". He wanted to name his daughter after his wife from the start and the grandma knew that.

No, see, in the Genshiken manga Saki talks about how her grandmother named her. I can't remember the exact chapter and it wasn't implied it was inspired by that mahjong-playing protagonist (Genshiken started in 2002, Saki in 2006) but it had some other otaku-ish connotations IIRC.

Eh, even so. I like this possible future. I never really liked Makoto and Saki together, and would have rather seen her end up with Madarame. If by some chance this turns out to be the actual future, then I'm all for it. If not, then it's canon in my mind. I mean, if this wasn't by the same author, I wouldn't be arguing this, but it is. It's entirely possible that after the end of the story, Saki breaks up with Makoto and marries and has a kid with Madarame.

I've always vastly preferred the idea that this is an alternate universe, so I love the development in this chapter. Along with the MadaxSue ending to the second Genshiken, my worries that MadaxSaki would ever become canon have basically been eliminated.

When grandma said Saki I kinda freaked out a little.
But I can't make out who are the guys on the last page supposed to reference?

The guy reminded me of kousaka (hair color is different but hey, so is saki's). It explains why madarame was shocked/perspiring at the last page. And the dude behind him looks like a grown up version of that "nyo-nyo" guy.

Sincerely hope that this isn't the final chapter. Genshiken has ended, and I can understand why the creator wanted to wrap that up, but us fans still long to continue in this world the creator created.
