Can I my backup drive that Time Machine is set to use automatically?

if I rename my backup drive that Time Machine is set to use automatically, will it still recognize the drive the next time I plug it in and pick up from where I left off or will I have to 'choose' it again and start over, replacing my older backups?

I'm pretty sure you'll have to choose it again, it worked that way here.
