Dave Hearn asked, " I remember that DC's LEGENDS mini-series was originally solicited as CRISIS ON CAPTIVE EARTH. Why was the title changed?"
If I remember correctly, CRISIS ON CAPTIVE EARTH was a planned Marv Wolfman / George Perez follow-up to CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS that never materialized. I think there were rumors at the time that LEGENDS came out that it was the same series, but these were false.

LEGENDS was always called LEGENDS. CRISIS ON CAPTIVE EARTH was an entirely different post-Crisis event that fell apart before a page got written.
