No, you can’t change his name.

You can’t but it would be great. I would prefer a name a bit easier to pronounce. Like BOB or so.

Would be a good option to give it a nick name just in case you have 2 or more EMO connected to the same APP. You can see here, when I connect to my EMO it’s name is EMO with a number on the end.
Would be good to have that option to rename him there so you know which one you are connecting to (as mentioned if you have more than one).

That number is based off his Bluetooth address. A nickname which could be used in addition sounds like a good idea. Wholesale changing his name I think would require a lot of programming work and/or not really be practical. Even when he’s not connected to the Internet he still recognizes the name EMO (but nothing else), so that seems to be built right into the firmware?

Yeah, totally agree, changing EMO’s name to something else to trigger commands is not worth it. It’s name is easy to say and it would certainly cause major issues if we were to have an option to change it to something else.

I asked my Vector what his name was and he said with sadness “My creators never gave me a name” 
Never thought to ask him that since he responds to “Vector”, but did just now. His reply was, “I don’t know. I have always wondered that myself.”
you can change his surname but not his first name
