Greetings Mr. Brice

You could try this step by step solution if you are running on windows 7 :

1. Click Start Button
2. Click "Search Program and Files"
3. Type "Regedit" and press enter.
4. A Registry Editor pop up windows will show up, please look "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
5. Extend it and go to "SYSTEM -> ControlSet001 -> Control -> MediaProperties -> PrivateProperties-> Joystick -> OEM"
6. When you click the "OEM",  find the one that appears name of your game pad, click it.
7. You will find "OEMNAME" rename it as you wish

Hope this help.
