To do that requires some extra code to search through all other places where the gateway could be used (firewall rules, routes, gateway groups, DNS, WAN settings, gateway monitoring, and so on) and update the name in each place when it needs changed. The odds of missing something and causing a problem after the change are nontrivial so we've been cautious about trying to allow that to happen. If someone wants to submit a patch to add the feature that properly accounts for updating the gateway name everywhere in a safe manner and restarting services as needed, feel free to submit the code.

Once you create a gateway, you can not rename it from the GUI. I had to delete and re-create my gateway in order to rename it.
