Your favourite brands had crazy names. Look at their evolution:

  • Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web → Yahoo!

  • Blue Ribbon Sports → Nike

  • Sound of Music → Best Buy

  • Burbn → Instagram

  • BackRub → Google (eww)

  • Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo → Sony

  • Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company → IBM

  • Unadulterated Food Products → Snapple

  • Wonder Jelly → Vaseline (I kind of like Wonder Jelly)

  • Puck-Man → Pac-Man (I wonder why)

  • Research In Motion → BlackBerry

  • Quantum Computer Services → America Online → AOL

  • AuctionWeb → eBay

  • Picaboo → Snapchat

  • Cassius Clay → Muhammad Ali

  • Stefani Germanotta → Lady Gaga

  • Malcolm Little → Malcolm X

  • Prince → The Artist Formerly Known As Prince → ?

Things change, brands change, people change.

So can you.
