There is no straight forward solution to rename the pool as such. You can create nw pool with your name convention and switch the pool on virtual server. After that you can delete the old pool. But it will impact the active/persisted connections.

 

Other solution is you can rename it from the bigip.conf file. Edit the pool name (where ever it comes) and load the config file in the big ip. This is risky if you are not familiar with conf file editing. I don't recommend this solution.
