all the way up to the point of reconsidering the “Astros” name.

Won't happen. There will be too much negative backlash unless it was to something like the Colts. Opinions vary when it comes to the team colors because the current colors have no historical significance. The name "Astros" however is entrenced with the history of the team. From the Astro dome, to Orbit the mascot, to the meaning of the star logo. When you're already trying to win back the loyalty of the fans due to a bad team and a largely unwelcome move to the AL, a name change won't happen.
