Houston
The team changed it's name to the Astros in 1965 in conjunction with their move to the Astrodome. The name change was unpopular at the time in Texas. Unlike Washington DC which has some of the strictest gun laws in the country and help lead to the name change from Bullets to Wizards, Texans have never been embarrassed into PC when it comes to guns. Now that they no longer play at the Dome ( and our astronauts these days roam a Russian space station )and moved to the AL, I think there has been some discussion about a further name change
