Can you update it so we can change the name of our islands instead of having to completely delete our beloved island and villagers please and thank you

I'm getting a communication error when I travel. Hasn't happened before. Tried the fixes...it's not helping. Kicks people of the island in trying to get to and they lose their stuff.
