I was going to say the same thing. You can definitely change his name. My puppymill rescue probably had no known name at the mill, the rescue called her Savannah (though I don't think she ever learned this name), and we call her Lane and about a zillion other nicknames.
One good way to start is to say his "old" name followed immediately by what you want to call him and eventually just call him his new name. You also can reward him whenever he looks at you after you've called him his new name.
Good luck! And the hardest part in all of his will be deciding on his new name I'm sure!
