I changed my name as I didn’t like my birth name much. Also, I transitioned. However, if people change their names multiple times in a short period it does get tiresome - I thought about it beforehand so I knew it was right and wouldn’t change soon. I do not respect company name changes

I don’t really care about it. What’s with stadiums being named after companies? It is called Marketing and branding. The exposure that having and NFL stadium and field showing off a company’s name is insane. Sofi pays 30 Million a year to be the chief stadium sponsor of two NFL teams. Something you may not know it does not end with the stadium name. All NFL teams have a team doctor. Do you know how much the NFL teams pay their doctors? NOTHING In fact the NFL teams will charge the doctor. That’s right the doctor pays the team for the “rights” to call themselves the teams doctor. 99 of the top 100 watched programs are NFL games. The exposure if off the charts. When the naming rights expire do people just have to get used to the new name? Oh yes, but they will be a deluge of marketing for the new name and it will stick very quickly.

I hate having to remember new things and as far as organizations and places go the name changes have been for corporate advertising or just inferior to what was before. So im not strictly against it but I have not many experiences where its been good. Going back to danali for the mountain was nice despite trumps wierdisms with names

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.

I roll my eyes everytime a stadium is named after some company, it's just a reminder of how radioactive capitalism is in america.

Sometimes you need to rename something that was originally named after someone who became a national humiliation.

People should change their names as they please, but remember it’s kinda annoying. Also the capital of ohio should change its name, so many things there avoid using the name of the city

Companies tend to change names to try and get away from their history. Like how Philip Morris became Altria. Don’t let them. There’s no such thing as deadnaming a company because it was never alive in the first place. If their old name carries the baggage of how horrible they really are, keep using it and don’t let them forget.

For organisations, I think name changes should be minimised. They normally are because of some kind of schism or power struggle, and even if that’s not the case, that’s what people will assume. It’s damaging reputationally and also bad for SEO. For people, change your name as much as you like idc. Every day or every hour if you like. As long as you make it clear what your current name is. If you’re changing it every hour maybe wear a name badge.

As far as stadiums and buildings, the owners take money from companies to name them. Lots of money. It’s called paying for naming rights, and the contracts usually have set terms, like the company has to pay X amount per year to keep the naming rights.

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