Note :- If your site is highly customized and it could be possible that you are referring these column in the object model. If anywhere the code is referring to “InternalName” Property of the these Site Column, then these changes could break your Business logic. I would strongly recommend that before doing these change, please check the source code of your customized “.dll” installed on the site .
