Hi all This would certainly cause havoc for us! So I would propose not to change them!
I certainly do agree the names do not make sense so rather than rename, could a new type of entity be created that can reference existing entities? So both old and new entities would work on the same physical table?

May be once we have these it shall be a better time to fix things that aint' broken. regds mallah.
