It is not possible to rename the Name column.
Because it is the filename of the document.
Try to hide the column in the view and create a new column with the new name.
But you always have to give them file a name.

If I will hide that column I cannot go inside the folder.
It was possible to do in SharePoint 2010 and 2013. I believe there is some way to do it in 2016 too.
If it's a restriction in 2016 then I am very disappointed.
