I imagine if you take the unit data (I think it's .u, not sure) you can rename the heroes fine, then proceed to just re-insert the file back.

Of course you'll probably never get to play that publicly.

Its in NeutralUnitStrings.txt and CampaignUnitStrings.txt
for Nevermore and Zeus respectively. Just delete all the other Propernames except the one that you want. I'm not sure if strings are hash checked so you >might< be able to play with other people.

even if you could play with other players it'd only show the changed names for you.
If you have any questions drop in by chat sometime, chances are there'll be someone who can help you that's afking there, so the next best thing is to click the link on UndeadxAssassin's Sig and ask your question there.
