I'm running into an issue that every time I rename either my Bluetooth track pad or keyboard, it'll be updated for the session but the second I reset my MacBook, the bluetooth name will have been changed back to the previous setting. Does anyone have a workaround for this? I saw on another form that this is an issue with Catalina.
Did you try Rafasiqueira's method?

Hello Aquaman1992,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.
Please follow the steps in Apple Article - HT205348 Change the name of a Bluetooth accessory to make sure that they are being followed correctly. Some bluetooth devices cannot be permanently renamed.
I hope this helps!
I had bought both a trackpad and keyboard used. I am unable to reset the names on these. When I do, the name doesn't actually change. As show below, if I change the names in bluetooth settings, exit and then go back in, they get changed back to what they were named previously.
Thank you! Seemed to have done the trick!
