You need to select the items you want to rename, then press Return. Because the Finder window sidebar item is a substitute, you can not re-name them. To change the name of sidebar items, please find the original item and rename it. Type the name. You can use the numbers and most symbols. Names can not contain a colon ( : ) or period (.) At the beginning. Some applications may not allow you to use the file name slash (/) and press Return key.

You need to perform a manipulation that is to give a different name in your file. If you leave the default folder names, you will have several files with the same name untitled folder and a number that varies depending on the number of folders on the same site . That does not really recognize the files and customize.
