How to "give a name" to a head

I'm trying to clean up a repository.
This repository has now several heads. They started as "let me just try this
hack" and a couple of them had a lot of work in them.
Heads were just created as commits, some were created months ago. A couple
are also alternative implementations and cannot merged back, while I could
quite easily merge some of them.
Now I'd like to "give a name" to some of these heads so that it would be a
lot easier to see to which head do an "update -C". I think I may use a
branch name.
There are already some branches in the repository since it is a sourceforge
hosted open source project that I convert to hg.
Is this solution possible ?
hg update -C <revision of the head I want to name>
hg branch <name of branch>
Thanks
Francesco
