Hi, The API only supports setting the account name when *creating* an account. You can do so by setting ManagedCustomer.name <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201502/ManagedCustomerService.ManagedCustomer#name>, as you mentioned. However, since the ManagedCustomerService.mutate <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201502/ManagedCustomerService#mutate> method only supports the *ADD* operation, you won't be able to use the API to update the name of an existing account. You can only do that in the user interface.
Note, however, that starting with v201502 of the AdWords API, you can set account *labels* via ManagedCustomerService.mutateLabel <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201502/ManagedCustomerService#mutateLabel> and AccountLabelService <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201502/AccountLabelService> .
