I can't see a single reason why we would. Maybe the name would change but the Empire stuff is quite amusing in the circumstances, so why not keep it?
As far as I am aware, in other countries they give "honours" too, albeit not necessarily on the scale and scope we do in this country. The US Presidential "Medal of Freedom" seems to be vaguely similar.
The only argument I can see regarding the honours changing would be that some people might not value it if didn't come from the Queen. But quite frankly those people are faggots so I'm not sure why we care about what they think.
