There is a stock provided by GoD-Tony you could implement into a new plugin that works - at least until the map is changed (unless you use another method to actively change the name back to what you want it after map change).

the sm_rename command shipped in SM doesn't work for CS:S - the game just changes the name right back to what the user had - but with the stock mentioned above, you could psuedo'ly change the players name.

Here you go - here's the include GoD-Tony provided:

PHP Code:

/**
 * Changes a clients name
 *
 * @param client        A client index.
 * @param name        Set to false to skip the IsClientConnected check
 * @param silent        Set to true to not broadcast the name change
 * @noreturn
 */
stock CS_SetClientName(client, const String:name[], bool:silent=false)
{
    decl String:oldname[MAX_NAME_LENGTH];
    GetClientName(client, oldname, sizeof(oldname));

    SetClientInfo(client, "name", name);
    SetEntPropString(client, Prop_Data, "m_szNetname", name);

    new Handle:event = CreateEvent("player_changename");

    if (event != INVALID_HANDLE)
    {
        SetEventInt(event, "userid", GetClientUserId(client));
        SetEventString(event, "oldname", oldname);
        SetEventString(event, "newname", name);
        FireEvent(event);
    }

    if (silent)
        return;
    
    new Handle:msg = StartMessageAll("SayText2");

    if (msg != INVALID_HANDLE)
    {
        BfWriteByte(msg, client);
        BfWriteByte(msg, true);
        BfWriteString(msg, "Cstrike_Name_Change");
        BfWriteString(msg, oldname);
        BfWriteString(msg, name);
        EndMessage();
    }
}

Are you doing it with quotes as well? I find not using quotes causes problems.

sm_rename <target> "New Name Quotes"

14:19:25 sm_rename pablo "pablo+"
14:19:25 L 05/02/2012 - 14:19:24: rcon from "xx.xx.xx.xx:xxxxx": command "sm_rename pablo "pablo+""
14:19:25 L 05/02/2012 - 14:19:24: "pablo++<249><STEAM_0:1:32879877><Blue>" changed name to "name"
14:19:26 [SM] Zmieniono nicka pablo++ .  
14:19:26 L 05/02/2012 - 14:19:24: [playercommands.smx] "Console<0><Console><Console>" renamed "pablo++<249><STEAM_0:1:32879877><>" to "pablo+")

I'm so confused..... Why this isn't working on my server.....

Same, on mine it renames everyone to name, any plugin that renames does it also like freetobrenamed and steamrep plugin both change names to "name"
