P Diddy has never actually "switched names," his name has always been Sean Combs. He's alternated between stage names (which have often been used *between* his real first and last name), but that's about it and it's the only the beginning of the problems with your disingenuous, trollish argument.

Otherwise, throughout history when people have legally changed their actual names -- not just their stage names -- you've always had a certain number of people who call them by the previous name. (Not to mention you're making this argument on a board where people *constantly* refer to posters by their lesser-known, earlier names instead of the names they go by now, quite often to the confusion of people who know them better by their current names >_>)

Name changes of any kind take time to get universal buy-in. Even people who want to respect the new name are going to occasionally say the old one.
