Is it possible to rename the PDB on an ACFS cloned database?

Is it possible to rename the PDB on the cloned database?? Documentation says, we need to maintain the same DB_NAME as the test master, but I am checking on the PDB rename. Below is the scenario.

1) STDB1 (standby database on ACFS) on /ACFS_MOUNT
2) We create read-only snap t1_master
3) We create read-write snap t1_clone of t1_master
4) Start clone database STDB2 out of t1_clone ==> here STDB2 is the unique_name (STDB1 is the db_name)
5) once the DB is started, on STDB2, can we rename of the PDBs inside?
  for example, pdb1 is the pdb inside. Can we rename this to PDBDEV ??
 
We were doing this in the old environment with monthly refreshes. Here, is it supported on the ACFS clone database?
