  The only way to do it is to remove it and create it again. Alternatively you could create a DNS alias with the name you want and point it at the listener instead?

  Add a second listener then remove the first one. You'll need extra IPs (temporarily) for the new listener.

  Basic process:

  1. Add Listener2 with IpAddress2
  2. Remove Listener1
  3. Update Listener2 to use IpAddress1
  4. Remove IpAddress2 from Listener2
