The coordinate system EPSG:25832 has the name "NUTM32" in FME. This name is not recognised by ESRI Software which is my desktop GIS software. The name in ArcGIS is "ETRS 1989 UTM Zone 32N".
How can I change this in FME?

The naming shouldn't normally matter - Esri should still put the data in the right place on the map. What's the problem that you're seeing?
If you need to, you can grab the coordinate system WKT using a CoordinateSystemDescriptionConverter (convert from FME representation to Esri WKT), and then do a find/replace on the text string before pushing it back using a CoordinateSystemSetter.
The problem lies with the way ArcGIS works with coordinate systems when data is transformed and reprojected. The data in NUTM32 are correctly displayed, but say I want to display the data in an ArcGIS project defined in EPSG:31467. ArcGIS will not be able to find a transformation method from NUTM32 to 31467 and the position of the reprojected data will then be wrong.
