When I create the device, the>NAME is transformed in G$1 :

Why ?
I can modify the G$x name when I create the device.
When the device is in the schematic, I have U$1G$1 :

And when I try to rename, for example, test :

Thanks for your help !

i believe the G$ is in place of the name of the"gate" and this is what
you must rename for it to stick. you would do this in the window where
you place possibly multiple symbols to create the device. since you
chose to use a single symbol multiple times for your pins, each symbol
became a gate. each gate has a name that is appended to the device name
itself, so if you have 4 NAND gates you can name them A-D and a
composite name will appear on the schematic like U4A. whether EAGLE
shows the U4 , the A or both is dependent on which text string you put
in your symbol, >NAME will show both. see help TEXT for more info. you
could use this to hide the gate name if you don't want it or change the
names when building the device from symbols with the ADD command.
another more common alternative is to just make your device from a
single symbol that has more than one terminal drawn into it. this option
means that the two connector terminals will always appear side by side
in the schematic so it's up to you what you want it to look like.
if you are already doing all this then you have to remember to save the
library after making changes, and then UPDATE the library in the
schematic to see the new device.
