Entity names can’t be edited directly. They go through a review workflow. The name-request group lets you submit a proposed name and check its status.

​
geogen name-request submit

Submit a name-change request. Maps to POST /v1/entities/name-request. 
geogen name-request submit \
  --entity ent_123 \
  --name "Acme Corp." \
  --reason "Trademark update from 'Acme Inc.'"
FlagDescription
--entity <id>Entity ID (required)
--name <name>Suggested new name (required)
--reason <text>Optional context for the reviewer
An admin reviews the request before the entity’s display name actually changes.

​
geogen name-request status

Check the status of an outstanding request. Maps to GET /v1/entities/name-request. 
geogen name-request status --entity ent_123
The response includes the suggested name, reason, current status, and timestamps. If there’s no pending or recent request, the CLI reports no pending request.
