For the Nand gate you have no choice but to call it Nand because you aren't building a Nand gate -- it is supplied to you. But if you really wanted to design a gate named Fred that behaves like a Fred gate and, in all future chips, wherever you want to use a Not gate you use your Fred gate instead, that will work. The only place where you will have a problem is the test script for the Not gate because it loads a file called Not.hdl. But you could edit the file to load Fred.hdl to make it work.

Having said that, don't do that. Use the names the authors provide -- it will make your life SO much easier.
