- [AMb#1] Give today’s “House of Commons” and “House of Lords”, both created in 1341, titles less archaic and more appropriate for today’s age, perhaps along the lines of the “Primary Chamber (or Primary House)” and the “Upper Chamber (or Upper House)”.

Rebranding is always a pain, and by no means always worth it. And this proposal seems to open a can of worms, and likely to distract attention from more significant issues.
The OBE (Order of the British Empire) is a somehat embarrassing name for an honour, clearly Overtaken By Events. Should that be changed first?
The nation’s hereditary Head of State is King Charles, despite him being king in name only. Would it be “less archaic and more appropriate for today’s age” to call him the Hereditary President instead?
There is something quite charming about a leading body in world Cricket being the Marylebone Cricket Club.
