I’d like to customize some of the nice glyph names. For instance, changing the Cyrillic name “ia-cy” to “ya-cy”. Is this possible?
Yes, and it’s explained here. If you have further question, please do not hesitate to ask.

Again, thank you. Great info. I can see why this is one that I skipped before, it’s a bit daunting. I’ll give it a shot!
Why do you need to change the nice names?
To my eyes, the “i” throws me off, as that sound is represented by “y” in American English. The uppercase names (like “Ia-cy”) are also hard to read, given the featureless uppercase I in the interface (Lucida Grande). It’s not a big deal.
All of that said, the nice names are a vast improvement over the nonsense names these glyphs usually get. And even the little things, like correcting the spelling of “guillemet”, are welcome.
