rviz ought to support renaming those tools- an issue on https://github.com/ros-visualization/rviz/issues would be the best place to propose it.

All the tools currently call setName() with hardcoded names, but a Name StringProperty could be added to the tools that should support custom names and call setName with it when updated. Then the names could then be edited with the right click Tool Properties menu- this would be a really easy pull-request to put together.

Also the + button shouldn't preclude adding the same type of tools that are already on the tool bar (though it doesn't make sense to add a second ruler or select tool, just the ones that can be configured differently). I haven't looked in the source to see where that is done.
