That's an unimpressive list of name changes. A University login system, a chocolate maker, a PE firm, few small businesses, a software release name, the fictional organisation from a cartoon.

I'd be more interested in who didn't change their names despite the connotation.

There's a town in Australia called Isis, who didn't change, nor did their local football team called the Isis devils.
