+1, me too. I believe this is an important statement

there's one area where old names will be used for sure: old documents, books, film, signs, ...

There is no such thing like a currently  completely unused old name, otherwise it wouldn't be an old name.
Or maybe I don't understand "currently". Everything I may encounter now?

An old name is the current property of a current object.
