Factually incorrect. It may not be a nice thing to get our heads around, but name changes can have a dramatic effect on 'what it is that you're trying to achieve by changing the name'. I'm not saying that the BVWS needs a new name, personally and professionally I don't think it does, but in the world of marketing communications, the role and purpose of a name change can be many, and not always to do with 'the product' itself changing.
