Q: Is it possible to assign a unique name each desktop?

I'm just starting to capitalize on Mission Control and am hoping to be able to assign my own, unique, names to the desktops (e.g., Work Stuff, School Stuff, etc.). Is this possible?

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

Nope. That has been requested quite often, but never implemented.

What may help in the interim is to not allow the OS to rearrange them based on usage. Then, they always remain in the same order, left to right.
That setting is in the Mission Control System prefs.

You can't change the names of the desktops.
