Q: Mac Hard Drive
I picked up 2008 24 inch IMac added the 4 gb upgrade ram. Got it updated for my daughter. Would like to rename the Hard Drive that the previous owner named.
I have a newer 2009 iMac it is still a great machine.
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

You should have wiped the HD prior to loading OS X, in fact I would recommend doing that now otherwise the old owners info is likely on it in locations. Use Disk Utility to Erase and then you can re-name the HD and then install OS X. This process should take less than an hour.
