The 'ip' tool can rename an interface to whatever name you want...

[root@ns2 htdig]# ip link help
Usage: ip link set DEVICE { up | down |
                              arp { on | off } |
                              dynamic { on | off } |
                              multicast { on | off } |
                              allmulticast { on | off } |
                              promisc { on | off } |
                              trailers { on | off } |
                              txqueuelen PACKETS |
                              name NEWNAME |
                              address LLADDR | broadcast LLADDR |
                              mtu MTU }
        ip link show [ DEVICE ]
