How to start shell and rename the buffer

I sometimes want to start emacs with a shell, but I also want to
rename the default name '*shell*'.
I have:
    emacs -title ${TITLE} --eval '(shell) (rename-buffer "shell")'

But the buffername is not renamed.
In *Messages* I see:
    (emacs --eval (shell) (rename-buffer "shell"))

And not an error or a warning.
If I do 'M-:' and then '(rename-buffer "shell")' the buffer is
renamed.

What am I doing wrong?
