next to the shelf is a black arrow pointing down.. click and hold on it, go to shelf editor, and you can edit names of things..

You can also edit the script file in notepad.
Heres an example for my leather shelf button:

shelfButton
-enableCommandRepeat 1
-enable 1
-width 32
-height 32
-manage 1
-visible 1
-label "leather"
-image1 "C:/Documents and Settings/Pavilion/My Documents/maya/5.0/scripts/leather.bmp"
-style "iconOnly"
-command "leather"
;
The label is what sets the name.
