Are you sure you don't confuse a frame's name with its title?

In general, a frame's name is Emacs's internal business, and is rarely
if ever exposed to the user.  About the only exception I know of is
TTY frames.  I'd be interested to know why you care about a frame's
name, i.e. what is your use case.
