Over the years many well known UK brands have changed their names, can you think of any? A few to get you started:
Omo (washing powder)became Persil
Marathan (choc bars)became Snickers
Dime (choc bars) became Daim
Can you re-call any?

@66Mustang It still makes me laugh at a tweet I saw on Hermes. Someone said; "They changed their name to Evri because they lose "evri" parcel"
I know Amazon was to be called 'Cadabra'. As in Abracadabra. But one of the team thought it should too much like 'cadaver'.Hannah - She / Her
