Window Settings... => Window - uncheck "Active Process Name"

Then every window will be called "Terminal".

And if you find that boring you can use this to spice up the display:


set myColours to {"red", "green", "blue", "cyan", ¬
    "magenta", "yellow", "purple", "black"}
tell application "Terminal"
    set foo to window 1
    repeat 10 times
        set background color of foo to ¬
            (contents of (some item of myColours))
        set normal text color of foo to ¬
            (contents of (some item of myColours))
        delay 1
    end repeat
end tell


And if you're really picky about colours you can use 16-bit RGB values.
