        I may be misunderstanding you, but if you're talking about renaming the files themselves, that should definitely be avoided completely, as MAME requires that the files be named as they are in order to operate. However, you can use Steven Selph's Scraper to rename the menu entries in Emulation Station to something friendlier if they're not already.

          @mediamogul it worked great! I thought about using attract mode. Does it automatically scrape?

            I'm not sure. I've never tried it before.
