If you just want to change the iPod's name in iTunes, because the iPod's name includes the previous owner's name, select the iPod in iTunes (click its device button on horizontal bar) to show the iPod's settings screen in iTunes window. Near upper left corner, where you see the small image of iPod, click the iPod's current name. The name becomes editable. Change it as desired, and press Return on keyboard.
However, since this iPod is new to you, you should do a Restore on it using iTunes, to give it a "fresh start." This erases the iPod, reinstalls its software, and sets it to default settings.
The iPod will then act like it just came out of the box when it was new, and you can set it up as your iPod syncing songs to it from your iTunes library.
