You can pass your own ThreadFactory to ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor. Your ThreadFactory 4 will create thread and can give it any name 3 you want. Your ThreadFactory can also reuse 2 Executors.defaultThreadFactory(), and only change the name before returning 1 the thread.

public class NamedThreadPoolExecutor extends ThreadPoolExecutor {

private static final String THREAD_NAME_PATTERN = "%s-%d";

    public NamedThreadPoolExecutor(int corePoolSize, int maximumPoolSize, long keepAliveTime, final TimeUnit unit,
                               final String namePrefix) {
       super(corePoolSize, maximumPoolSize, keepAliveTime, unit, new LinkedBlockingQueue<>(),
            new ThreadFactory() {

                private final AtomicInteger counter = new AtomicInteger();

                @Override
                public Thread newThread(Runnable r) {
                    final String threadName = String.format(THREAD_NAME_PATTERN, namePrefix, counter.incrementAndGet());
                    return new Thread(r, threadName);
                }
            });
    }

From the ThreadPoolExecutor documentation:

Creating new 11 threads New threads are created using 10 a ThreadFactory. If not otherwise specified, a 9 Executors.defaultThreadFactory() is used, that 8 creates threads to all be in the same ThreadGroup 7 and with the same NORM_PRIORITY priority 6 and non-daemon status. By supplying a different 5 ThreadFactory, you can alter the thread's name, thread group, priority, daemon 4 status, etc. If a ThreadFactory fails to 3 create a thread when asked by returning 2 null from newThread, the executor will continue, but 1 might not be able to execute any tasks.
