Can you name desktops on mac

It should be simple to change these names to better reflect what each space contains, such as Work, Music, and Personal. Unfortunately, it’s not nearly as simple as it should be. The only way to bypass the current naming conventions for spaces is to open an app, then make it full-screen, and follow additional steps as shown here.
In the example above, the Music app was used to create a new space called “Music.” Despite the name, the space operates just like any other one; you can open additional apps in the space with no limitations.
