Most groups that change their names let the public know very early on. The charity I work for changed its name 15-20 years ago. I don't remember. We knew a year before that they were working on a new name. Then they told us what it would be. Then they actually changed. That predates things like Facebook so it was not even a matter of informing social media. They told staff and clients and our funding source. Now such changes are more complicated.
