How do I rename calendars

This is a question I wanted to ask since day 1, for some reason I selected to neglect it for couple months.

But it is really annoying to see three identical names, "Calendar" on the iPhone, I have to remember what purpose each is for by color.

There must be a way to rename them...

You cannot change the names on the iPhone. You must change the name(s) in whatever application the calendars are synced from (e.g. iCal for the Mac OS, Outlook for Windows). I have calendars with different names in iCal (Personal, Work, Family), and those names transfer to the iPhone.

Could someone please give me some suggestion base on my scenario?

- One of them is sync'ed with Exchange Activesync. You can't rename that calendar.

- One of them is used for personal events, I only manage it on the phone, I don't even know if it gets copied over to my PC or not, when I do a backup.

- The 3rd one is not used, but as you know, because of the difficulty for me to tell one from another one by looking at the color, periodically I created items under that calendar by mistake.
