Bendis is the only one who seemed to want to give Miles a new name. Had he continued to write him it may or may not have happened.
I think that ship has sailed since ITSV, though.

I could see them working in a new name as Miles gets older. It could be a sign of maturity.
Here's an interesting article where a Marvel editor confirms that they almost did consider changing Miles Super-Hero name but thankfully nothing actually came from the discussion around it. This would also explain why Bendis was hinting at a name change for Miles at the end of his time with Marvel. Whether the idea was originally his or the Marvel editorial team is up for debate. But I would love to see the Shadow Spider costume show up in Mile's game.
Also I managed to grab this Peach Momoko store exclusive variant for Champions #1. If anybody is interested you can get it here.

Marvel's genius editors: Hey, lets give Miles a new name that is less meaningful than "Spider-Man" after he had a movie, several comic runs, and a game dedicated to being Spider-Man because it would be puzzling in...uh..um some stories also lets put him back in the Ultimate Universe and make him Ult-Peter's side kick. BOOM! He is own Spider-Man like the BeYourself hashtag"
616 Peter Parker's reaction: "Good riddance! THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE SPIDER-MAN!1!1"
Seriously though, how's Ghost-Spider working out for Gwen? Didn't that comic get cancelled because of that one name, along with uneventful writing as well? Oh man lol.
(btw is Miles still referred to as Spy-D in the animated series?)

So...the Marvel's Spider-Man cartoon did something interesting with Jefferson...

They made him Swarm. And it's partially Miles' fault.
They really put themselves into a corner when introducing Prowler and not making him Aaron Davis, but Hobbie.
