I personally like to minimize name changes as much as possible because usually, the current name Just Works and I don’t really think it’s worth it to break muscle memory or replace signage and stuff.

Marginally related; what is it with American stadiums being named after big companies? And when the naming rights expire, people just have to get used to the new name??

edit: I’m primarily focusing on organizations and places and anything that isn’t a single individual person changing names, to be clear

    If a person is named “Mohammed” and therefore fears Islamophobic or racist attacks in his personal experience, he should be allowed to change his name and surname imo. Is this question related to private persons or cooperations?
