ACORN, the troubled community service organization, recently considered changing its name in a bid to rehabilitate its image, according to an internal memo obtained by POLITICO.
The document, which will be released Tuesday as part of a Republican congressional forum on ACORN, illustrates the internal deliberation the group has undergone after a year of embarrassing scandals.
The document was found in Dumpster outside of an ACORN office in San Diego, a House Republican aide said. Derrick Roach, an unsuccessful Republican candidate for statehouse in California, took thousands of documents last week from the trash outside the office. An ACORN spokesman confirmed the veracity of the document.

Politico doesn't seem to state(unless I missed it) the new name specifically, but I doubt this is the same as the old COI story/name change/confusion issue that happened a while back.
As I first saw the line about it being a paper in a dumpster, I first thought to myself 'hooboy, some journalists' head is gonna roll over this' but as I finished the sentence I realized that this was just more of the same. Everybody else is doing the journalists' job.

I believe a Freeper predicted (about two months ago) that Acorn would do a name change. I wish I could remember who it was.

it’s every conservative’s duty to pull those bastards down, and i mean all the way down, relentlessly, and kick them onto the dung heap of history where they belong.

Their new name should be AHOLES
not sure offhand if it’s an acronym for anything useful, but it does give the group a new yet descriptive name while maintaining some phonetic continuity with ACORN.
AHOLES = “Association for Helping the Obamanation Lead Everyone to Subversion”

How about Wall Nuts.
Or better yet, call them the old unofficial name for Brazil Nuts.

Of course they are considering a name change. Much like a fly-by-night home contractor creates a bunch of unhappy clients, and then re-incorporates under a new name to start all over.
