Currently renaming storage volumes is not supported. It would be a nice feature to add and I reached out to our storage team about it. You can also add it to our user voice page as a feature suggestion so others can vote for it.

If not rename the volume, it would be great to be able to label or tag a volume similar to how droplets can be.
