Stop. Step back and think.
Why don't you want the name to change?
Surely what you actually mean to say is that you don't want stuff to
break because the name has changed. Be that because the name didn't
actually change, or be that just because stuff didn't break - we just want
it not to break.
Identifying devices by something more constant than the name which the
kernel happens to have assigned to them today is not difficult.
