The platform file needs the exact words it has. It can only be pfSense, nanobsd, livecd, and so on.

That does not control the name of the system as displayed on the GUI, console, etc. There is another place to set that. Leave the platform file alone. It is for internal use only.

If you need help with rebranding, your best option is to purchase a reseller subscription (https://portal.pfsense.org/index.php/reseller-subscription) and have us handle the rebranding process for you.

The name is important for the configuration of the system.
