I've been trying to migrate away from snapchat for years now because everything about it irritates me but I've still got like 3 stragglers for whom it is my main form of communication.
I've never given Snapchat access to my contacts ever. It's not only blocked in the app, but also on the system level. And yet I still get connection suggestions "from your contacts". It's infuriating
You can, however, rename them.

Tell them you're moving on. It's not worth it. If they're really your friends, you can find another way. If they don't, they only care about the way you are on Snap. That's hollow.
I was in the same situation as you. Just message them elsewhere and delete it. Everyone who wasn't willing to message me on a better platform turned out to not be that worth interacting with. All the real ones did what they could to keep talking to me without hesitation and respected my reasoning
I had that issue too, and contacted support! Turns out There is this guy from Swaziland, whose name happens to be Team Snapchat (you couldn’t make this shit up). So Mr. Snapchat and Team Snapchat’s accounts keep on colliding with one another… on Snapchat!
Can someone explain what is snapchat for? Is ot like messaging app or a social app?
Just leave. Humans were alive before Snapchat and they'll be alive when it's dead as well.
Don't use META products. Delete your Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat accounts. Tell everyone you know.
