So I think the answer is that Lego doesn't even know what it wants to be
called.

You'd think :)

Actually, the background comes down to legal and tax issues. As I
understand
each country office/branch is a separate "company". So in Billund, it's
LEGO
A/S. In Enfield, it's LEGO Systems, Inc., etc.

I don't know the specifics (I try to steer clear of legal stuff), but the
name
to refer to the thing that you know as "LEGO", and you once referred to as
"The
LEGO Company" is "The LEGO Group".

Hope that helps.

Kinda like Prince, that became the unpronounceable symbol (the artist
formerly known as Prince), and then Prince again?

Didn't take long, did it, JT! you don't see ME going around insisting people use
my many titles, do you? Didn't think so.

Help, I'm being oppressed!

Bloody peasant. That would be “repressed”. Sorry to get all pendantic (sic) on your butt, but that’s one of my favs. Incidently, my daughter was lucky enough to be in NYC last weekend and see “Spamelot” with Hank Azaria et al. I would take that opportunity over attending a Brickfest, I believe...
