Why Keep the Mennonite Name?

Are we followers of Menno Simons, or followers of Jesus Christ?

The term Mennonite defines our culture, not our deity. Why not change the name of the church to reflect this? Maybe something along these lines:

Mennonite Christian Church
Mennonite Church of Christ
Church of Christ from a Mennonite Perspective

On the other hand, putting the name Jesus Christ in the title of the church doesn't guarantee that you will find him there - take the Mormons for example.
