I read your first post on name change last year, during the first handover of EA Ensae. Together with the new organisers, we were very influenced by it. After getting feedback on the EA groups slack, we decided to adopt a nickname, “Altef”, and to keep “Altruisme Efficace Ensae” as a complete long name / subtitle. The nickname is used in informal conversations, group chat names, and in the logo.
It seems to me that for this particular group, it struck the right balance between the advantages and disadvantages you mentioned.
So thank you for writing these two posts!
We sadly don’t have the same kind of great quantitative feedback to share at the moment, but we might in the future, who knows 🙂
