They can't - it would screw up the employment history tabs, on older toons especially.
When a corporation is closed, they could add "(Closed: 01/17/11)" to the end of the corporation name. All it would be is a name change, it woudl be obvious that membership was to a now-closed entity, but the name would be unique (due to the date) and old corporation and alliance names would be made available again.

CCP Sreegs is my favorite developer.

The name doesn't matter for corps and alliances. I should know, I have been in two different corps with the name Carebears on Fire. All that matters for corps and alliances is the ticker.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.
