✓ Accepted answer

You must call the function.

local tool = script.Parent

function nameChange(newName) -- Otherwise the function is pointless
	tool.Name = tostring(newName) -- In case only a number value is submitted
end

nameChange('Dope')

You have to execute the function

function NameChange()
    wait(1)
    script.Parent.Name = "DOPE"
end

NameChange()

Also, this doesn't change the script's name. It changes its parent's name.
