I never get this. Sears isn't the name of some rarefied artist, it's just the name of another money grubbing corporation. It's not any better, intrinsically, than Willis.
It's an office building. Naming it after a corporation that isn't even in it is silly. I maintain that the problem people have with calling it Willis Tower is that the name is just plain terrible. If it were called United Tower or something cool, people would have no problem switching. Willis just sounds bad.
