I opened up an ETR with IBM on my question and I received this answer. You can change the name dynamically. Basically have to change the image to reserve and then from reserve to the new name. To change the partition to reserve, you have to disconnect all channel paths and devices from the partition. See the HCD User's guide for section Changing partitions in chapter 6.
Once the image is down, deactivate the image and then make the IODF changes. Once you done the IODF activate with the new partition name, you'll pickup the new name in the images group for the CPC. You can now select the image and customize the activation profiles for it to customize the new image profile. Once you've made the updates for the iamge, then you can activate it.

We don't yet have a z9, but I thought that one of the selling points was being able to define 'dummy' LPARs in advance, then make them 'real' as needed by 'renaming' and assigning memory, CPs, and I/O connections, all without a POR. Am I missing something in the z9 or in the original question? . .
