I don’t think you can change a module’s name. Changing the title that is returned by the module object could be hard, too, because usually it is hardcoded in the implementation.  
Why would you need to change a module’s title? To translate to a different language?

Building on a lot of excellent preliminary work, a group is now funded to work on i18n for Slicer. It would be great if you can help!
