Inside there will be only one person, a man wearing a hat. Talk to him and if you can change the Pokemon's name (you cannot if it is a traded Pokemon) the Name Rater will say "that's a fairly decent name" and will suggest he should call it something better. Say "yes" and you will be able to enter a new name.
