Renaming landmarks or civic buildings

[phuturo 0]

How come sometimes when you rename a landmark or a civic building, let's say a school or a power plant, the new name won't stick once you reload the game? It reverts to the default name for that building.

Is it a bug or does it depend on the type of structure you rename? Original or custom buildings?

I like using a street atlas of a city for inspiration and give important roads or building a name, I just flip open the book and pick a random name or one that i strikes my imagination. I think it adds a lot to the game, makes you more immersed in the city.

Anyone else does this?

That's false, the name remains until destroying the building. Also I sometimes rename parks and some reward buildings, so they have more realistic name, because I don't think there is a park named large Park Green or a temple called House of Worship.

Yes I just made this up...

(Wait a sec, no.)

No but seriously I suspect it is a bug or a problem caused by a plugin I installed, I was wondering if someone else experienced the same problem which could help me find the culprit and fix this.

I don't know of any Maxis made buildings that revert to their original names (but I don't use the in game landmarks). Are the buildings you are trying to change custom buildings downloaded off the internet?

If so, look in here, especially z1's posts, for some information on this issue.
