I believe the OP was referring to changing the name displayed in the 
Services applet - that name is taken from the DisplayName value in the 
registry key under HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services associated 
with the services. Changing that (and the Description value) does not 
affect starting and stopping the service (renaming the registry key 
itself would of course have disastrous results).
