Are they really gonna call it Mario kart 7?

It seems werid seeing how all the other Mario Kart games arn't numbered at all. Why would they suddenly start with 7?  I would rather they just have named it Mario Kart 3ds instead of 7.

Finally, just to close it up once and for all...

Nintendo has made it very clear that they intend to call it Mario Kart 7 everywhere they've used the title. If it was a placeholder name, it would say so. And it makes no sense from any marketing points of view to call it "Mario Kart 3DS".
