Lots of companies have changed their names (sometimes because they've changed what they are producing). For example, American Can, which made, well, cans, is now a financial services company called Primerica.
I question the 7-11 story. According to one executive about forty years ago, most people think that it was because the store was open from 7 to 11, but it was actually because the company was founded on July 11.
