XF 1.1 Changing Forum Names - Will The Rank Get Affected?

[TheBigK]

We're planning to change our current forum (section) names from -

Electrical & Electronics Engineering -> Electrical & Power Plant Engineering

The forum names do not have 'URL portion' attached to it. But I'm planning to add it once the name is changed.

My best guess is that since the thread URLs do not include forum names, changing forum name should not be a problem at all.

I don't see the problem changing the name, also not in SEO ways.
