Changes can be gradual. I know a server that was named after a single service the machine was set-up for. Then later across a span of time, more services needed to be added. They're unrelated services, but circumstances necessitated them being installed on this server. Then even later, the original service ceased to be used and was shut-down.
Changing the name might imply changing references in other services that make reference to this server for the current services that are still running. It might also imply changing bookmarks in the machines of the users of the services still running on this server.
The bookmarks are a concern because many users don't know how to do anything with bookmarks other than clicking on them, so you can't depend on them understanding how to edit the URLs of these bookmarks. Yes, that's depressing.
