See: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2015-08/msg00594.html Which is a thread which discussed (and provided an implementation for) named python sessions. Specifically, it uses the ":session foo" variable to modify the name of the special-edit buffer. Genercially, it uses something from the Babel header to modify something about special edit buffer, which is what I think you want to do. Good luck, -k.
