Just double click on the net, and assign the "netname" attrib to what
you want to use.  Then, if you are netlisting with spice-sdb, the
netname you assign will appear as the node name in the SPICE netlist.

You can use any alphanumerical name you wish (e.g. Vin, Vout,
Q1_Collector, whatever . . . .).  You can see examples of named,
alphanumerical nodes in the geda-examples/RF_Amp and
geda-examples/TwoStageAmp directories in your local geda-sources
directory. 

Ngspice will accept alphanumerical node names without any problem.
Older versions of gnucap would barf on non-numeric netnames (unless
you set some undocumented flags), but Al fixed that with the most
recent version. 

HTH,
