Personally I think changing names of organisations ( commercial and
non-commercial);
to better describe function or simple novelty as often seems the case;
  involves a miss-understanding of  the function of names !
The function of the name is not essentially to describe the function of
the  organisation,
but to uniquely represent the organisation. All that such
badge-engineering does is
obscure identification. Even advertisers recognise the commercial value
of brand recognition !
