I personally like to minimize name changes as much as possible because usually, the current name Just Works and I don't really think it's worth it to break muscle memory or replace signage and stuff.

Marginally related; what is it with American stadiums being named after big companies? And when the naming rights expire, people just have to get used to the new name??

edit: I'm primarily focusing on organizations and places and anything that isn't a single individual person changing names, to be clear

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

    Companies that change their names usually do so to avoid class action lawsuits and/or to get out of obligations they previously made with their customers.

    Edit: I probably should have posted that as a top level comment, but oh well, I'm leaving it here.
