They changed the name of the millennium dome in London to "the 02 Arena".

I'm not letting you pay someone else for me to say your (unrelated) brand's name in private conversation.

If Verizon sponsored the Whitehouse and said "it's called the Verizon Democracy Centre" now, what would you call it?

Completely agree. Pisses me off when people refer to a football league by its' sponsored name.

Y'know, they changed the name of an avenue nearby my childhood house from a single word name to the name of an obscure politician. This happened 30 years ago. People in the city still refer to it as it's old name so much that they might not even know the current name.
