“British asset manager Standard Life Aberdeen is changing its name to ‘ABRDN PLC,’ abandoning the letter ‘e’ in phone-text fashion as part of a plan to modernize its brand,” Reuters reported on Monday. More than merely an attempt to appear more modern, “the Edinburgh-headquartered company said the name change would also allow it to own digital assets, such as apps and websites, without confusion with the city of Aberdeen.” The newly-announced, vowel-devoid name – which is still pronounced as “Aberdeen” – has resulted in amusement and criticism on social media, with users poking fun at the rebrand, while Manchester Metropolitan University linguistics professor Rob Drummond told the Guardian that “it looks like older people desperately trying to sound cool.”
