My response was that the Lakers remained the Lakers when they left Minneapolis. The Giants and the Dodgers names survived a 3000 mile trek westward. The Braves are still the Braves, and so were the Raiders and the Rams.
The Browns changed their names to the Orioles after Baltimore stole them from St Louis, but no one was invested enough in the team to care about one way or another.
