Is there a chance to force a renaming or is it not possible due to restrictions within the database?

Changing the lookup name definitely changes the name in calibre's database. You can see that by hovering the mouse over the column header in calibre, which will show you the current lookup name.
However, changing the lookup name does not change the content of ebooks. To do that you must either:
- resend the book with "send to device"
- or embed the new metadata with either "Embed metadata" or "Polish" then re-copy the book file to the device.
Also, be sure you changed the lookup name. Changing the column heading won't do the trick.
