You might lose the support of Educators, medical professionals, arts groups, etc?
In all honesty, I'm a born and raised Calgarian, and I've been taught pretty much my entire life to be so anti-liberal that even the thought of voting for them provincially (no matter how different they may be from the feds) conjures up visions of the NEP and my dad coming home one day wondering if we were going to lose our house that month.
We almost lost our business during the PC implemented electricity deregulation last election, and I
STILL couldn't vote Liberal.
Change the name, and do a better job of getting your message out. Admit that you made a mistake not doing it earlier, and then hammer that message through peoples skulls every chance you get. Don't use it as a campaign slogan, but every time one of your candidates has a microphone you distance yourself from the federal party. That's the only way in my mind that the "Liberals" will ever win in this province.
