Modest Proposal and name change

What Bob says here makes good sense. Do the purported benefits of a name
change outweigh the known and unknown downsides?

Changing the name of the group is not very modest in terms of the load of
work it would create.
You would need to change your name with the IRS, bank accounts, and most of
all with your list and wiki provider.
Your most valuable archives and wiki information and links to it may well
be lost for future searches.
An awful lot of effort to make these thousands of changes would mean less
time for work on new information and expanding the current images and
cultural information resources.
You don't have any "staff" to do this, just a very few very dedicated
volunteers.
Please think about this carefully. I particularly like Jane's sensible
definition of "Pacific".
