What names in particular? Im not sure you can change the name of the apps.

you can change the name of bookmarks at the point where you "add bookmark" it gives you the opportunity to edit the name.

No you cannot change the name of an app. There are many calculator apps so they have to be different. If you really are having trouble finding it, you can make a folder and name that 'Calculator'. But that will slow you down as you will have to open a folder before launching the app.
