Are you referring to the AWS Organizations account name or an IAM alias?

For the AWS Organizations account name, only during creation, not during an update.

    When we create an account, it gives it a name of aws-<solution>-<client>-<env>. Our account alias for that same account is <solution>-<client>-<env>. We are trying to migrate to use cloudformation stack sets, and I am trying to find a good solution to set the IAM account alias.

You could create a lambda backed cloudformation custom resource that does it.
