Unable to update Bluetooth trackpad & keyboard name

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?


  1. Connect Device
  2. Go to settings, right click on device, don't click the menu, leave it open
  3. Turn off device
  4. Select "Rename" in the still open right click menu
  5. Rename the device and close the pop up
  6. Turn device back on and connect
