How are "Named Views" later renamed?

Thank you.

Doesn't look like you can do that, as far as I can tell.
You can just choose the view, save a new one with a new name and delete the old view.

Thanks.

I feel like that feature should exist.

Well if the named view is driving a child view(s) in slddrw(s) we would need to migrate that change.

if you want to keep the same name but want to change view orientation then simply save the new view orientation with the same name and SW will overwrite the view name. Of course it will prompt you before doing that.
