I see, I wonder why exactly you need this, like a specific use case.
One concrete example: you have a modular system where the output of an
abstraction may be used by other abstractions, but they do not know
anything about each other. For this you might want to use a [send~] and
[receive~] objects where the names are chosen by the user, e.g. with
symbol atoms.
In general it's problematic if a parameter can only be set as a creation
argument because sometimes not everything is known at creation time.
This can be worked around with dynamic patching, but as we know, this is
not "officially" supported.
@Miller: a settable [send~] can be written easily, you just have to call
canvas_update_dsp() after changing the name. Of course, this is not
realtime-safe, but it's better than nothing.

I will check the ELSE options, thanks, all though it is the sender
that doesn’t offer option to change name.
For adding it to Vanilla version, Miller gave an answer, which
indicated there is not an easy way to do it, without adding a
block of delay. But nice to see that an issue has been raised,
mentioning it.
The issue on github is for an inlet to receive, not being able to set
send name in [send~].
I just need to be able to change the send~ name.
