Reply to comment by littleblacktruck in TIL in 1996, surveyor Mike Tate got a side street in NC renamed for the band Anthrax. After the 2001 Anthrax attacks, town residents were suddenly uncomfortable with the name and petitioned to have it changed. by aaj617
Jokingly, it needs to be said.
There was a band which did change their name after 9/11, though. New Zealand rock band Shihad changed their name to Pacifier because they thought their old name sounded too much like "Jihad". They eventually did change it back after a few years, though.
