Can I change shared parameter names in txt file?

[cadmancan]

Starting brand new project.  Would like to change the name of some shared parameters within my txt file.  As far as I know you cant chnage the name once its established witin Revit (unless theres a third party app).  Would there be any issue withi this?  Utimately I am pushing these parameters into new geometry and I would like them to better conform to a standard for a particular customer.  I rennamed JUST the parameter name and it seemed to work ok.  I know this isnt the most ideal but I would rather not re-create several shared parameters.  Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance.

As a best practice - never touch the .txt file.

Not want you want to hear but it is what I suggest. I have tried it and I had it blow up on me - so I would rather recreate the parameters.
