Can I name each desktop in Mission Control? There are so many various tasks on going at work. Allocating each app/browser in desktop 1, 2, 3...11 is very confusing when switching in between tasks. Especially when computer is forced to restart, all browsers would appear in one desktop. It takes a long time to reassign them back to the right desktop 1, 2, 3...11.

Try Spaceman (look up in Github - author is Jaysce).
It is not the best solution but it helps.

No. You can't name Desktops.
I HAVE A HACK!!! For this really annoying "miss" in the operating system where we are not able to change the names. What i do is to open STICKIES and created a series of large Stickies for each of the items that I want to have in my desktops like this one:
I place the stickies at the very bottom center of each of the Spaces. If you place it down far enough, it does not interfere with your work (actually sits behind the dock if you have your dock at the bottom) but is visible when you look at the Spaces. Couple key notes. Be sure you open the App(s) that you want on the space while you are on that space - otherwise, it will just jump to the space where the app was opened.
Also, once you reboot your computer and open Stickies, all of the Stickies you have created will sit on the same Space. You will need to move them back where you want them. Since I do not shut down my computer very often, it is not much of a problem....
And everyone should bury the support threads with requests to add this feature in the future!! Never like to see a post that says i can do it on Windows but not on my Mac . . .
Nope! As Dialabrain said, you cannot do that, because it would just be incredibly complex and difficlut, so much so that Windows can't even...oh wait, you can do it in Windows. Huh.

... well said. And you can do it in Linux with kde since more than 20 years...
I'm looking for this feature since the very first day os x proposed virtual desktops. It does not seem so complicated : a click on the name of the desktop when the upper horizontal pane appear, type the name, enter to submit, and done. There is multiple posts on this forum asking for this feature. I don't get it..
As this is a user-to-user technical support forum, and Apple does not read their forums for feedback, it would be best if you sent Apple feedback at:
