Hello Gabriel, Only stewards, administrators and file movers are allowed to rename images (and other files) on Commons.
That being said, users can request a file rename by first activating the gadget RenameLink via Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets subsection "Interface: Files and categories". Then an additional menu option "rename request" appears in the top menu. Subsequently an administrator or file mover (renamed) will evaluate and execute or reject the request. I apologize if I misunderstood your question.
