When first connecting my Hue hub to Homey, it seemed to copy in the names I’d defined within Hue. However that seems like it was potentially a one-time sync, since updating the name either in Homey or in Hue will not reflect the update in the corresponding platform. Is name synchronization not supported?
Apps cannot change the names of devices they manage, they can only provide a name when the device gets paired. So no, name synchronisation is not supported.

Unfortunate to hear, but thank you for the reply!
Apologies for reviving this old thread, but I noticed today that Homey can actually update the names of lights in the Hue app. I was renaming a bunch of them through the Homey dashboard and saw them updating live in the Hue app that I had open on my phone. Perhaps something changed then since January?
Show us a screenvid or it didn’t happen 
Tried my best recording both at the same time 
Probably have to open in a new tab to see it full screen.

Wow that’s great news!
Cool haha. Is it coupled with Matter maybe?
I don’t think so, I’ve added all my lights using the official Hue app.
