Hi,
you can set the name of the listener by listener_name:

listener_name=(ADDRESS=

                        [(COMMUNITY=community name)]
                        (PROTOCOL=protocol name)
                        (protocol specific information))

in the file listener.ora (/var/oracle?). If you don't specify the listener_name the default name of the listener is "listener".

If you have more database (more SID) on the same machine and you want a listener with the name of the database you can:

SID_LIST_listener_name=[(SID_LIST=]

                                (SID_DESC=
                                   (GLOBAL_DBNAME=global_database_name)
                                   (SID_NAME=SID)
                                   (operating_system_specific_
                                     string=db_location)
                                )
                                [(SID_DESC=
                                   (GLOBAL_DBNAME=global_database_name)
                                   (SID_NAME=SID)
                                   (operating_system_specific_
                                    string=db_location)
                                )]
                            [)]
