Why was the name "Jimmy" and "Blazer" put on smaller suvs instead of keeping the name on the larger 2 door suvs that got the name "Yukon" and "Tahoe"?

Huh?
Personally I think it would have been an insult to the original names to put them on the "new body style" ones...but that's just me..
Remember the "new" Chevy Nova ?..a Toyota with a bow tie in reality...I felt that was a low blow to the original Nova's..

Marketing as much as anything. While we love the Blazer/Jimmy name, heck I drive my 71 daily, it is not nearly as iconic as say the Corvette. So why stick with a name that may only appeal narrow section of the market when you can repackage something very similar and give it a flashy new name?
I blame the Masons.
Actually, I think the "Blazer" name carried over briefly on the IFS '92+ 2 door SUV's. I think the nae was dropped completely when the 2 door version was phased out.
