TL. DR
No.
The name is new, but the id is the same
After we change the name of the Raspberry Pi from PerfectPi to Robopberry we don't have to do any new configurations. Each Bluetooth device has a pretty name and an id. We've changed the Pretty name, but we've not changed the unpretty device id. We can continue using the device with the phone.
The old name is still visible
If the old name is still visible, then remove it by pressing on it and selecting remove and refresh the Bluetooth connections. The new name of the controller will now be visible.
Worth checking
It is worth checking that the phone could see the new name of the Raspberry Pi. Here are a few screenshots from the Bluetooth settings and from the Bluetooth control application.
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons
Perfect STEM course. Module 1 - Smart Car with Raspberry PI
Disassemble a remote control car. Change the brain of the car with a smart computer like Raspberry Pi. Build a smart device with artificial intelligence that you could control from your phone and that could freely navigate itself in the real world and on the Internet. Use your hands. Develop programs for your robot and your phone. Be curious and invent.
The perfect course lives up to its name. You move through the content, we check it and return feedback to you.
In the end, you should be able to better understand how to program and design smart devices that would make the world a better place. For everybody age 12+, 16+, 21+, 35+, etc. The hardware costs about 150$. It changes through the years so it might take some time for you to find it as Raspberry PI, motor drivers, power banks and h-bridges.. they change. Note that the course was designed to be led by a teacher with a decent knowledge in embedded hardware and software. This, on the other hand should not stop you, if you are curious.

Configure Raspberry Pi name
When connecting to the Raspberry PI you will see it on your phone with a default name of "PerfectPi". You can change this name to something that you would like. Actually, you should change the name to something else to learn how this name could be changed. With this tutorial, you will learn some pretty interesting hacks and a thing or two about file system
