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


America isn’t the only place with sponsored stadiums. Emirates stadium (Arsenal FC) and Etihad stadium (Man City) are both sponsor names for example. It’s more common in lower leagues for the financial bump.
Almost forgot to mention but here in the Philippines, our basketball teams are the ones with the sponsored names…
