You can use (pythonic):
set_molecule_name(imol, name_str)
[Note: I recall some warning that you are encouraged not to use this on
maps; not sure why]
And I agree it would be nice if the maps have different 'gerneric'
names, I changed this for the next pre-release... (if Paul agrees).
Dynamically changing the name may be a different thing, although
possible maybe tricky with respect keep track of changes, maps etc. (and
possibly related to above mentioned warning).

I could not find in the manual a description of how to change the name
of maps as displayed in the Display Manager. Is there a way to do this?
If not, the following are 2 suggestions.
I commonly compute multiple NCS-averaged maps in Coot. The resulting
maps are given generic names that can be hard to keep track of if they
are out of order. For example, I may have 5 maps named "NCS average of
chain A type molecules. It would be nice if you could manually edit the
name of maps displayed in the Display Manager, for example I could
change it to "2Fo-Fc NCS average" or anything that helped me sort out
the maps when I try to remember in the morning what maps I produced late
the previous night.
Alternatively (or perhaps in addition to), maybe the default
NCS-average map names could be modified to include the map number from
which they were generated. For example if I created an NCS averaged map
based on Map #3, the resulting names of the calculated maps would
instead be "Map 3 NCS average of Chain A type molecules" and "Map 3 NCS
found from matching Chain A onto Chain B".
Thanks for the help,
-Andy
