Thanks for the report. As you know, various metadata about the network sites and how that metadata is represented in SEDE are not kept in sync; this is primarily because the systems are independent and change infrequently. We have corrected this inconsistency for the sites (and their metas) mentioned in the question, at least to the best of our ability, as we still avoid & and other punctuation:

Others not mentioned above have been fixed either to match, for layout reasons, or for a missing Oxford comma:

In addition to the name updates, we fixed many links that either pre-dated a name change (and so went through at least one redirect, like health -> medicalsciences) or were broken entirely (e.g. the meta URLs for sites that have gone through a name change).
We also fixed about a dozen missing icons from the left column on the main page. And over 200 right sidebar images on the main query page that weren't rendering either due to a name change, or for sites without custom themes/logos, or both. The sidebar now shows the icon from the queries page in those cases. This is obviously not perfect-looking; the query box and schema panel get pushed down a bit, since the available images are mostly square, while the custom logos are rectangular:
Any changes to how this looks across the board will likely have to wait until the rebranding efforts have stabilized.
Adam Lear and balpha were instrumental in implementing these changes, so feel free to give them a high five next time they cross your path.
