This guide will instruct you on how to rename an app you downloaded off the app store. I know there are some apps that rename programs on an Ipod/Iphone but im not sure if they can rename Retail Apps.
1) SSH Into your Ipod/Iphone
2) Have the app you want to rename already installed on your Ipod/Iphone
3) In WinSCP (or other ssh client) navigate to /private/var/mobile/Applications
4) Find the app you would like to rename, this may be difficult because the real names arent labeled on the folder. Try to sort around by the date added. Click on the weird named folders and it will say the name of the app.
5) Double click the XXXXX.app and locate Info.plist
private/var/mobile/Applications/FB6F78E6-5480-497B-B646-F3F22FF9C1B9/Imaginationland.app/Info.plist
6) Right Click Info.plist and click edit.
7) Notepad should open and find CFBundleName and under it between the string code you can enter whatever you want as as the name
Respring or restart your Ipod/Iphone and the app name will change
Bottom left corner
*NOTE* I believe there is a name limit on app buts i am not sure what it is. I would say try to stay under 15 characters
