In Qsys, in the main 'System Contents' tab, right-click on your 'spi_0' peripheral and select 'Rename'. This allows you to change the 'SPI_0' part of the name.

The '_BASE' is appended to the name you give. So, you can't change it. However, if you don't like it I'd suggest you can always define a name you prefer that always equals the 'YOUR_NAME_BASE' value Qsys generates.

All the define's Qsys creates for your project can be found in the 'system.h' file, created each time you 'Generate HDL' from Qsys.
