Shrink Index - add 'shrink' as a suffix

Is it possible to specify the name of the new shrunk index in ILM? Otherwise. I will have to change my index patterns, visualizations and dashboards cause the new pattern would be *my-index-* , instead of the current pattern my-index-* .

No, it's not possible currently to change the name of the shrunken index.

As for querying it though, when ILM shrinks an index it does create an alias for the index with the same name as the previous one, so my-index-000001 becomes shrink-my-index-000001 and an alias is created called my-index-000001 pointing to the new shrink-prefixed index.
