How do you decide which one needs to change its name? There's no objective measure for which is 'larger'.

The vast majority of consumers are not going to lookup an FDIC number, and even if they did, it is still not optimal since banks regularly merge which would cause confusion.

I don't think we really care, do we? I'm not really worried that I connected to First Bank rather than Second Bank, since both are legitimate banks; what I want is to ensure that I didn't accidentally connect to Second Bannk, the local fraud shop. "Is this site controlled by a FDIC-registered organization" is probably good enough™.
