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.
I know that option is always there and right now, it doesn't matter much if you release a retainer or not. Later on, after 2.0 I heard that the retainers may get levels or some such thing? In which case, it could be problematic to keep deleting a retainer if one wants to rename it.

Tbh, I was hoping that they would just give us the ability to change the nickname without deleting the retainer. Still, it seems as if that's the way to go about it.

Thanks for your input though!
