Would anything in science change if we referred to protons as negative and electrons as positive? Are negative and positive only human names or do they have more meaning?

If scientists decide tomorrow that everything that was positive is now negative, and everything that was negative is positive is now negative would anything change?

To clarify, I am just talking about charges.

The choice of what we call positive and what we call negative is merely convention.  There is no intrinsic meaning to those, although there is intrinsic meaning to saying that protons and electrons have oppositely signed charges.
