Intend to change name (4)
I believe the answer is:
mean
'intend' is the definition.
(I know that mean is a more specific form of intend)
'change name' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates anagramming the letters.
'name' with letters rearranged gives 'MEAN'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for mean that I've seen before include "Stand for - penny-pinching" , "middle course" , "Common" , "mercenary" , "Skilful" .)
