As do I, Nice to know that I am not the only one.
If you want a simple way to rename the existing "tab" add this to .screenrc.
bindkey -k k9 title
This sets <F9> to change the title of the screen.

Let me look in my .screenrc:
# The resultsing command give you a status line that
# looks like this:
# | Screen(s): 0 slrn 1* bash <blanks zapped> 5:07PM Thu, Aug/24/2006 |
# (The pipes indicate the edges of the xterm/console).
# Green text, time, and date; windows in blue:
hardstatus alwayslastline "%{=b}%{G} Screen(s): %{b}%w %=%{kG}%C%A %D,
%M/%d/%Y "
