Since NewJeans sent an official letter to their agency ADOR, threatening to end their exclusive contract if they failed to resolve certain issues, speculation about the group's future has skyrocketed. This uncertain situation has led many fans to wonder if NewJeans would be able to continue using their current name if their contract was terminated.

At the 2024 Korea Grand Music Awards, the members of NewJeans spoke emotionally about the group’s uncertain future. Hanni expressed, “ Honestly, we don’t know how long we’ll be NewJeans… But the bond between the five of us and the Bunnies is unbreakable. Let’s stay together until the end. ” Danielle added, “ Even if we’re not NewJeans anymore, NewJeans will never die. ”

This situation has prompted fans to come up with new names for the band, in case they lose the rights to the current name. Some of the humorous and serious suggestions include:

• "MinHeeJeans"
• "New T-Shirts"
• "New Khakis"
• "Maybe just change the spelling to NewJeanz"
• "The NewJeans Premium"
• "No matter what the name, we Bunnies will always be there to support them."
• "The New NewJeans"
• "Mother Rabbit"
• "NewJeans Bunnies"
• "Newfy"
• "NJS = NewJeans"
• "Just NewJean might be good too"
• "If it's Min Hee Jin, she probably wouldn't give them a similar name. She'd probably give them a completely new name to start from scratch."
• “I think they would have a really good, refreshing name.”
• "Let's go with Bunnies"
• "Mini jeans"
