I think the only solution to fixing this is for Safari to show the domain again. It is the URL that is unique and known by the visitor, not the business name.

Here in the UK it's more complicated, there is no way of registering a "trading name" or "trade dress" against a company so you can only have an EV cert issues against your actual registered business name. If that is different from your trading name and what you use as your domain name then they are less than worthless. For example, if the company is "Widgets of London Limited" but trade online as "Widgets Online" with the domain "widgetsonline.com" they cant get an EV cert with "Widgets Online" as the name - even if they own the registered trademark of it.

Love that people think you go through rigorous checks to get one of these. I was able to get one for my personal domain just by saying “oh yeah that’s owned by this company too”. A simple Whois lookup would have shown otherwise. These CA’s are so incompetent. Still really cool having one on a personal domain though!
