It sure does make sense, but the timing is hard to ignore. Either way, you are right, indeed it is unfounded speculation, hence why I said "who seems to be only doing it because of PR issues."

This seems like terrible timing if they are doing it for PR, since Facebook is currently in the thick of a negative news cycle that will immediately tarnish the new brand. The stories will all say: Facebook is evil, and also changing its name. It would make more sense to wait for the press to die down first.
