Fandom is a very poor choice for a name change by Wikia.

Fandom (usually applied as fanboy or fangirl) is frequently used as a pejorative term. It is similar to the use of the n-word (albeit to a lesser extent)...It may be somewhat common amongst HipHop/Rap/"gangsta" circles, but it is generally considered offensive to the majority of people. Fandom implies an unstable and emotional user. It also implies a fanatical devotion to something, often obsessive to the point of criminality. Personally, I don't want any part of being called Fandom. Can we please have this re-branded to a name other than Fandom A.S.A.P.?
