Q: Any way to rename personal hotspot in the event there is more than one person in the immediate area who is attempting to do the same?

I went to a restaurant and their wi-fi was pretty lame, i.e.., pages took forever to load. While looking for their wifi network I noticed a personal hotspot entry although I had not enabled mine. I enabled my hotspot, but I did not see a second hotspot appear in the list of available networks and I was unable to log on . I turned my hotspot off and waited until the first hotspot disappeared. When it did I turned on my hotspot and was able to log in. If I could rename my hotspot from the default name, I could log on to my own even if someone else was using theirs..

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
