Lol, stuck forever with a Pokémon named FluffyPants? Yep, that's the trade-off!

Nah, you're outta luck. Once it's named, that's its identity for life in your game. Better get used to it or keep trading!

Actually, the only way you might change a traded Pokémon's name is if it hasn't been nicknamed. Then, you can rename it just once, but only if the original trainer didn't give it a nickname. If it's got a custom name already, you're stuck with it.

Nope, you can't change the names of Pokémon you get through trades in Pokémon Violet. The original trainer's chosen name sticks with the Pokémon forever. Think of it as a special bond that ties it to its original trainer!
