    No, it’s fine as is and you can leave it. Obviously if you did a renewal over time, the renewal would be in the new names but there’s no need right now. It’s still the same people.

    If you ever have to serve notice (or even write to them) you should use the new name.

    If ever court proceedings were required (hopefully not) a short note explaining the name difference would suffice.
