Changing product name for configurable product when being added to cart?

Question

Magento 2.4.6

I am trying to change the name of a configurable product which is added to the cart. I figured that changing the getProductName function in \vendor\magento\module-configurable-product\Block\Cart\Item\Renderer\Configurable.php does the trick.

Now I am trying to override that with a plugin, which does not work. This is what I have:

di.xml

<type name="Magento\ConfigurableProduct\Block\Cart\Item\Renderer">
    <plugin name="modify_product_name_cart" type="What\Ever\Plugin\Block\Cart\Item\Renderer\Configurable" sortOrder="3" disabled="false" />
 </type>

\app\code\What\Ever\Plugin\Block\Cart\Item\Renderer\Configurable.php

namespace What\Ever\Plugin\Block\Cart\Item\Renderer;

class Configurable {
    public function afterGetProductName(\Magento\Quote\Model\Quote\Item $item, $result) {
    
        return __('Product Sample') . ' ' . $item->getProduct()->getName();
    
    }   
}

This is not working though, it never reaches the code. So I need to know why the code is not reached and if it was reached, if it is the correct way to change the product name?

Thanks!
