Narrative:

Taxiway designators were changed to indicate new names. The new names (specifically C2, C3, C4) cause confusion since they change as the txwys cross runway 18. Our last 2 runway incursions occurred as aircraft exited the GA ramp at what is now C2 since there is no parallel taxiway. Changing the taxiway names will further confuse the situation as they will have similar names to the new taxiway C. Leaving txwys a and F with their previous names seems the safer alternative.
