Two points.
First, according to the link, that theater was called the UCLAN Theater when it first opened in 1940. It was later renamed the Metro in the late 1950s, and then renamed the Metro in the 1980s, then back to the Crest by the end of that decade--so it's not really a big deal to rename it yet again.
Second, there's reason to rename it the UCLA Nimoy Theater: UCLA bought the building, Leonard Nimoy studied at UCLA, and his widow, Susan Bay Nimoy, initially funded this renovation.
Any more complaints?
