If it's anything like the USB protocol (which I've been working with recently) the names are probably baked into the binary. You're likely out of luck unless you can somehow flash modified firmware.
Perhaps there's a way to give devices an alias on your machine?
If anything can do it, I bet the Flipper Zero could.
I do not believe there is any way to change it without connecting directly to the device's circuitry, and in some widgets it may even be stored in the ROM, so a Flipper Zero would not be of much help (unless the board has some sort of programming interface you could connect to the Flipper Zero).
Some have interfaces that are accessible via Bluetooth but, a Bus Pirate would probably be more useful for most as you note.
I'm sure you're right, but I've seen that little orange devil do very naughty things with the BT protocol before. My coworker has one and it makes me very uneasy with my BYO devices.
