2) the name change, which only occurs with Peter

Saul took the name Paul, and in Acts we see another name change,

Acts 4:36

Thus Joseph, also named by the apostles Barnabas (which is translated "son of encouragement"), a Levite, a Cypriot by birth, sold a piece of property that he owned, then brought the money and put it at the feet of the apostles.

Levi was renamed Matthew, Jesus renamed James and John, Boanerges, Nathaneal is renamed Bartholomew.

Jesus renames all of us

Re 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

You're absolutely right. My fingers went faster than my brain. Forgive the misstatement, and thanks for the correction.
