Well as some people have already noticed if you own an alliance you can't change it's name. My thought is that it might be to prevent those one man alliances running around and declaring war with different and offensive names. Although there's no proof just an assumption by me, I've mailed Dawn and Val about it looking for an official answer.

Discussion is on whether you are glad that you can not change alliances names for the time being and why.

I, happen to think it's a double edged sword, sure it will stop those one man alliances from going around and spamming alliance chat, but it will also cause people to complain about not being able to change their name and try and get it removed, thus spamming up the forums in the process,
So instead of getting rid of the spammers it will just bring them to the forums from the game.

What's your opinion?
