Hi Gavin9,

Thanks for posting here.

I don't see any kind article which refers to the impacts after renaming the azure subscription name. you should still be able to perform all activities under your subscription.

Ref: http://rickrainey.com/windows-azure-how-tos/how-to-change-the-name-of-your-windows-azure-subscription/

Hope this helps.

Steps to rename azure subscription.

1.Navigate to https://manage.windowsazure.com and sign in.
2.Once signed in, in the top-right corner, click on your account name, and then “View my bill” from the drop-down menu:
3.This will take you to https://account.windowsazure.com/Subscriptions – and of course you could have navigated here directly, but I wanted to start from the more familiar portal experience.
4.the subscription we will rename is currently called “Free Trial” – click on that to bring up the details page specific to that subscription
5.Scroll down the page a bit until you see “Edit subscription details” along the right-hand side:
6.Click on “Edit subscription details” to pop up a page that will allow you to change the subscription name or its service administrator:
7.Change the name to something more descriptive. Here I change my to “DevPartners Production” which indicates this subscription holds assets for DevPartners (which is my company), and these are Production assets (not Dev, Test, UAT, Play, Disposable, Demo, etc.). Some companies might prefer separate accounts for indvidual applications or teams
8.Click the check mark, and you’ll see that your Windows Azure Subscription is now helpfully named:

Hope this helps.
