Use SuitcaseII or ResEdit (change the name of the DRVR-resource).

It's pretty simple.  Run ResEdit, open the System File (or the DA file where
said DA is stored) and look at the resources of type DRVR.  You will see a list
of DAs listed with their names in quotes.  Select the desired one and do a
Get Info (under the File menu).  The DRVR resource's ID and Name and other
stuff (flags and whatnot) can be modified, and simply changing the resource's
name will change the DAs name in the DA menu.

Use the Rename feature of Suitcase II, use the Font/DA Utility that comes
with MasterJuggler, or use ResEdit (open up the DRVR resources, select the one
you want to rename, and do a "Get Info" on it).

I rename DAs using Suitcase II.  Select the DA then click on rename
button to bring up a dialog box.  I think Font DA Juggler Plus also
can do this.
