If you are talking about the Notes app in iOS, simply change the contents of the first line in the note file. That is what is used as the title.

You have to admit, it would be nicer if they allowed us titles.

They kind of do. If this is your note, "My Email Passwords" is the title/name:

My Email Passwords

me@my.net 123456789
me@this.com password
me@over.it monkey

Want to rename the note, change that first line to "My Old Email Passwords". Easy peasy.

Just add your title first. Then tap the + for sketch tools and tap back when done.,

Yea but I chose to move it to icloud and when i go to icloud app it shows as simply "Text File". So unless i create a folder for every note or document and name the folder what I'd like the note to ge named i won't know what the note is without opening it.

You try this?
Tap and hold on a file.
A menu with options to Delete / Rename / Info / More will show.
Tap on Information to see the text of a file, the file’s full title, file type, size, and more.
Tap on More to rename, share or move a file to another folder.

If iPad Pro is using Apple Pencil tap and drag note downward with finger, hold, select EDIT name with Pencil. Works with finger to EDIT too.
