Google bought YouTube for $1.65 billion and they now control it completely. So I was just wondering why they still keep the name YouTube and dont turn it into like Google video share or something.

Here are similarcases
1.Adidas bought Reebok but Reebok is still there
2.Scheinder electric is going to acquire APC but they will keep
same name
These are strategic business decisions that will enable the companies to find out weakness and strengnths
Yeah its good!

Because then google videos would make it sound dull...Studies show that half the people might not know that google bought the site so they might think it like ended...

People already know the name and where to go, plus we don't know if it was in the buyout that they keep the name so the creators still recieve royalties off the name.
