Do you think it's silly to rename various things to Obama?

In the recent weeks since the election I have read several articles about people giving the child the name Obama (or at least the middle name), I have seen several pets that have been named Obama and even a school has changed it's name to Obama Elementary. Don't you think this is a little preemptive? I mean happens if he ends up being worse then Bush? What if he can't hold up to the promises he has made, what if he turns out to be another Nixon. I am sure anyone named after Nixon hangs their head low then and now. Why would people chance a life long thing like a name to a man they really no nothing about and we really don't know yet what effect he will have on our country.
