Well, it's not easy, but it is possible...technically. You just have to either sell a bunch of junk in your retainer's inventory or find really good (and patient!) friends to hold all their things for you while you release your retainer from service and hire a new one.

I know it's a pain, but it does let you choose a new name. I've replaced both of my retainers since the game launched.
